The acoustic rock band Vertical Horizon was formed in 1990 by Georgetown University undergrads Matthew Scannell and Keith Kane; after graduation in 1991 the duo relocated to Boston and, in 1992, self-released their debut album There and Back Again. There and Back Again was recorded in Matt's old high school over a period of a few days, and Matt and Keith together played all the instruments appearing on the album, though they both mostly played acoustic guitar. Both also contributed to writing all the songs, and both sang. Matt and Keith toured for several years after this, mostly appearing with similar bands such as Jackopierce. By 1995, they were ready to record again.

Trying To Find Purpose Lyrics
Vertical Horizon
Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like theres something much better out there
Something kind
Chorus:
And I know someday I might be looking around
Trying to find some purpose
Well purpose it cant be that hard to find
As long as Ive got the wind
The wind and your love to carry me
Well tomorrow holds only mystery
And whos to say what might be
But I know in you Ive found a love so strong
The sun and the moon look on in jealousy
In jealousy
Chorus
Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders
And it makes me want to touch you there
And the light in your eyes makes me feel
Like theres something much better out there
Something kind
Chorus
To carry me
Please carry me
