I have been playing on other people’s projects a lot lately. Mix that with a life and it means I’m not doing too much of my own music. Well, as luck may have it, I found some time to write and record this latest ditty. Even luckier, my friend Matt Rankin stumbled into town the day I recorded it. We set up in the basement and he added all the electronics on this one. Without Matt, this would have ended up a much slower paced folky folker.

The lyrics need some work, but they convey the general theme. When I was younger I remember reading lots of books that seemed to center around the author’s fear of death. I never understood that until the other day I had a real good meditation about it and it struck me really hard. Funny how life experience can alter your outlook on things so drastically.
