about

The first thing Scott and Lynn (producers) and I did when we got together to make this CD was to decide which songs to record. I think I sent them around 20 options and we picked 10. Lynn said, "you're still missing the title track." I went home and dug through some of my incomplete song ideas, and I found a melody. And then I went to James Gordon and told him the story that a woman who I had recently met had shared. She ended her story by saying, "My friends always told me that I would land and that when I landed, I would land on my own two feet." James asked a whole bunch of questions (it's usually how we start songs) and drew the beginning of the lyrics out of me. Once we got into the flow of the song, it kind of wrote itself.

Landed
Words and music by Katherine Wheatley and James Gordon

Monday, the boys have basketball
Tuesday, they wait for you to call
Wednesday, I get them to the rink by five
Thursday, car pool, my turn to drive
Friday comes and Saturday goes
And Sunday heaven knows

Somehow I landed
I made it through
I landed without help from you
And when I landed, it felt so sweet
'Cause I landed...

Monday, too much on my plate
Tuesday, already running late
Wednesday, and I'm way behind
Thursday, I'm out of my mind
Friday comes and Saturday goes
And Sunday heaven knows

I landed
I made it through
I landed without help from you
And when I landed, it felt so sweet
'Cause I landed...

Half the house, half the car
Half the money has to go twice as far
Half the room for the four of us
I got half the time to do twice as much

But landed
I made it through
I landed without help from you
And when I landed, it felt so sweet
'Cause I landed on my own two feet
