_ You all basically know the story of this record.
I'll make it brief.
I made this record in
Pittsburgh when I was living.
_ _ My wife and I had moved out there and so I was staying
at home with our son, Elijah, who was really little at the time.
It was pretty remote and
I was pretty remote in my brain at that point.
I just started recording these songs and the
whole record I think took, I mean it wasn't conceived as a record, but it became one.
Basically I was writing one song a day, so like one of these songs [Eb] every day.
So it took
maybe, I don't know, two weeks to do it.
It was like being in some kind of weird trance.
That may have been the sleeplessness [Db] from the baby.
[Eb] _ _ _
I think this particular song that
I'm going to play right now might have been the first one of all of them. _ _

[Eb] _ [Bbm] me.
Was a pretty child _ [Gb] _ [Ab] [Eb] forsaken in the trees.
[Bbm] Yeah eyes like flaming [Gb] car bush [Db] said no fool
[Ebm] such as he. _ _

Born in a country that said it was me.
[Bb] [Db] Set [Eb] against me.
Not you not me.
