Since it isn't going on the album, glad you shared. Also glad you shared what sparked the lyrics. Beautifully dark and enchanting.

thank you fren. possible that they could go on another song but they didn’t make it onto algorithm ghetto — if not, they’ll go in a poetry book. i love how we can share whatever tf we want on substack without getting censored and thrown into the digital gulags, but i’ve come to see the value in having physical copies of all things - including our art. one day this is all gonna end 😂 😎

"The slide guitar is the roadside motel with bulletproof glass and no lobby" No idea why this touches me ... though it reminds me of Raymond Chandler ...

🙏 i love this. when i wrote it, i was listening to my producer / collaborator write a guitar riff it literally transported me to that scene, and many others.

Are you sure you aren’t Jim Morrison incarnate? I jest. You are more.
