I don’t think any explanation I could write up for this song could ever fully measure up to the vulnerability I tapped into and fear I had to overcome in order to write it, let alone release it into the world. So instead of explaining, I’m going to let the song speak for itself, in all of its sheer openness and truth. Thank you for listening 🫀🐾
