about

In ‘93 I had my first relationship. It was fairly short lived, but it had a 17 year old’s level of impact of course. I would write about the time we were together, and about her, in various forms for many years after.

Sweetness — based on hearing an REM song that always reminds me of her — is not really about her it itself. Instead it’s about the ways I “invented” a muse out of what she represented, and the gratitude I have for how much joy that created figure has given me over the years.

lyrics

SHE WASN’T SO UNUSUAL/
I WASN’T SO GOOD/
AT CURLING SHAPES AROUND HER FRINGE/
I WASN’T SO GOOD/

BUT ALL THESE SONGS ARE MADE FOR YOU/
I WASN’T SO GOOD/
AN ARTFUL BOY AND SENTIMENT/
I WASN’T SO GOOD/

SO YES/
THE LIES I TOLD HER/
SO HER HAZEL EYES GLEAMED/
ANDS SHE BEAMED/
FERVENT, FERVENT/
