This little ditty was originally supposed to be a grand ditty in the vein of Spiritualized orchestration but with bag pipes .... yes, chanters.
It has a real early traditional folk feel to it, but I was limited by constraints of time and money. Regardless, I like thats its a 'live off the floor' acoustic performance with all the rawness and intimacy of a guy with tape recorder in his bedroom.

The lyrical theme of this song seems to speak to the fragility and brevity of life. Forgiving, hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, not bemoaning your station in life and carrying on from each stage into the next with acceptance and faith.
