I sang relentlessly as a child, then learned guitar at 14. I played out quite a bit in middle life, but now I'm retired and spend a good deal of my time working on music. This song was written in early empty-nest-ship; my youngest, who had recently left home, hated it. As we all become more divided, this song has taken on an even more poignant meaning for me. I hope you find meaning in it...or rather, I truly hope that it means absolutely nothing to you because you've never had this experience!
