about

My work ethic and mourning kind of collided this past week. In the middle of recording a few albums under different names I had the idea to pay tribute to John Prine who passed earlier this week. The tribute was in the form of an EP, then an album, and then (after talking myself down) one song.

This is on a short list of songs I can sing without looking at the words. Like most of John's work it's about the absurd randomness of both cruel fate and true love. It's violent and hilarious, sad and inspiring. John was the greatest living songwriter but now he'll just have to settle for being the greatest. I think he can handle that.

Much love to John and his spirit and his family and friends and fans. Despite how it feels, we're not trapped right now. Not really. Just a little bruised.
