Over the previous decade a series of trials including divorce,the death of his mother and business hassles had dampened his joyin music making - a passion that drove Lukather to excel sinceseeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan as a seven-year-old growingup in San Fernando Valley.  "Transition is a turning point forthe album and a turning point for me," Lukather explains. "As wewere writing the songs, I was thinking about everything I've seen -all the people I've lost in my life, the great and the difficultexperiences I've had, and how ultimately it was time to get ittogether and embrace things for what they are.  We've only gotone life to live so we should make the most of it."
