about

I'll let Scout handle this one..

In 1990 my dad met my mom at a party. It was supposed to be a New Years Eve party but it was actually January 2nd due to some unforeseen circumstances when he was working at a local record store.
They started dating that month and this song is all about her.
The initial spark.
The falling in love.
All flowery prose and looking forward to every moment spent together.
It was cool to look back and see how he felt about her then.

lyrics

(Jan7,90)
i wish i could talk to you when i sleep
but i can't so i don't mind running on fumes
i'd rather be tired than not hear your voice

she snuck me into movies
she's not afraid of breaking rules
she's not afraid of anything
she makes me less afraid of everything

(Jan23,90)
I think I'm definitely falling now
the ultimate gut-check
a blank slate waiting to be filled in

and if i could say anything or any words
to anyone i want to say them to you
all warm and close
all boisterous and belligerent
all messy like my head

and when i feel her lips
i could sigh with the moon
and tides will change with our breath
