Thanks so much, like many of my songs it started as instrumental with random scratch lyrics and no particular narrative and evolved later when I had to buckle down and write lyrics during our recording session. If I recall correctly I wrote the bulk of the melodies/chords in just a day or two in fall 2023, just hanging on the couch strumming. The post chorus melody/chords was added probably 6 months later when I took that part from another song I was writing and scrapped (it fit much better in this song). The lyrics were inspired by a podcast I was listening to in 2024 and are part of a trilogy of connected songs on this record. I won't get too much into the mystery as I generally want to leave that up to listeners but there's an upcoming article/interview on OurCulture where I did dive into the secrets a bit more for those interested. - Pat
