(after being booted out of the family home in watchung)
(and landing in my mother’s mother’s attic)
(the same attic where both cheryl and jimmy had used as a bedroom in years past)
(i recorded some rough demos of the song there)
(i was pleasantly surprised that i still could write good songs despite being in utter turmoil)
(perhaps it fueled better songwriting)
(“just ask dostoyevsky”)
(later recorded the song in ‘spring 2015’)
(for “persona non grata” song cycle)
(part of the “joseph in dopeland” medley)
(preceded by a quote from the 1979 paul mccartney song “daytime nighttime suffering”)
(now it’ll be part of the “mommy issues” song cycle)
(which is itself part of the “family matters” song cycle)
(which is itself part of the “dinosaurs” song cycle)
(which is itself part of “the scientific method”)
(see where i’m going with this?)
