This song was written before my near-death experience and seems to be a spooky kind of premonition of the earthquake and close brush with death. Song writing is so mysterious! I have written many songs that didn’t necessarily make sense at the time of writing but nevertheless felt right. In time, they revealed themselves to be elucidating something that I hadn’t understood when writing them.
