about

In a songwriting class I took with Steve Dawson at the Old Town School of Folk Music, we were given a list of random words and challenged to use as many as possible. Words such as engulf, barriers, uncanny, enumerate. We were also instructed to use a descending bass line. And from those unpromising beginnings arose what, to me, is one of my most intimate songs.

lyrics

I would engulf you if I could
I know it's irresponsible but just the same

The ways that I intend to love you
Now all seem plausible but just the same
Something must change
