about

I often house sit people's houses and look after their cats and what not because I don't have a real life. A different environment than home is kind of paralyzing when you end up doing nothing and staring directly in the face of life.
House sitting becomes a dark place.

So I decided to write a song by exploring it:

One last note: I love Animal Crossing with all my heart because you have pocket sized hometown you can always carry with you. At the end of the recording, some sounds from Animal Crossing: New Leaf leaked through the mix and I left them in because.

A change of scenery is not a change of the heart.

Give me your hand, give me your whole life too.
Skin on photo walls seems so much lighter.

Leave the kids and leave the wives.
A thousand notes on kitchen tables, I’m
on to the next house.
