BackStory

This one was written alongside "I went down with the dogs" on my grandmother's land on a spring break from college in around 1998.... the first two years of college were BRUTAL as I'd been Overwhelmingly depressed,, so by this point it sounds like I'd finally reached a bit of a psychological clean slate and climbed up to a bit of God's eye view - ..everybody probably knows that feeling, where at the end of a tempestuous LSD trip,, there can be a certain calm that comes over everything that seems to say that 'all is well'... This song was essentially accepting that maybe life can be a simpler thing if you don't try to possess it too much... its an elusive state of mind at times and usually exists in a brief 'peak experience'... regardless,, freezing that feeling into a song kind of acts as a reminding device that all upheaval well settle back down in its own order - ...there is another recording of the song from when I'd written it that I should be able to release on one of the next volumes... but this version on Lost Decade II has always been special as Duncan and I were tripping in my dorm room and the song's sentiment seemed to perfectly fit with the knowingness of the LSD frame of mind...
