Track:
my musical mind is like a maze of random notes, chords and lyrical refrains. i start with something that is often random and often it twists and turns and winds itself into something else, and then another something, and then upside down and around again. tanya donelly's acrobat led me to catherine wheel's sun staring that led to this song that always gives me those surface of the skin and down to the soul chills. this song reminds me of side a of a mixed tape that i played endlessly the summer of '92. it reminds me of driving to san francisco, and stopping at big sur to try and visit the henry miller museum. it was closed and julia was asleep in the back of the car. i was not even a year into being a mother, still in awe, and still scared of everything. he had already left us by then, the first leaving, that is. i wrote postcards to pen pals because this was pre-internet, and i sang a lot to the road, to my baby daughter, to the ocean out the window, and to myself.music, she has always been saving my life.lucy.
