about

This song began as a banjo/harmonica instrumental that slowly morphed into a slightly cryptic, perhaps fragmentary, somewhat apocalyptic song, framed by the instrumental parts (mostly) at the beginning and the end. I like these lyrics that seem to have wafted up, unbidden, from my subconscious over the course of a few days, though I caution against seeking any great profound hidden meaning in them. Perhaps there is one in there, somewhere below the surface - but if so, I haven’t really quite figured it out yet.
