about
This song is mostly about the last conversation I had with my mom before she died. The release date is her birthday. She would have been 50 years old. She, herself, was a powerful force in my life, and continues to be an even stronger one after her death. I think about her everyday. I think about how I was physically attached to this person as I grew inside her body. Most days I am able to function with a cloud of mystery of death & life over my head, but some days I don't want to leave my bed. Myself and other people feel so fragile to me now, like I could lose my life or anyone else's at any moment, which is true, and also is why I am finally doing something I've always felt deeply about. Writing music.
I'm unsure if there will be some happy reunion with my mom at the end of my life, but I am fairly certain that I will miss her terribly for the rest of it.
Kenny, I can't thank you enough for helping me record and making this song as eerily beautiful as it is.
Chris, the artwork is amazing, and I know that took a hell of a long time to make. It's as eery and beautiful as the song.
