about

I thought I would include a song taken from the source. The Wilderness. I recorded this with my little recorder one night out in the desert. You can hear the campfire and a truck driving down the forest road. I have spent a lot of my adult life living outdoors and not always because I had to. This world is fucking noisy and, quite frankly, I get pretty lost in it. So much shit we think is vitally important is absolutely ridiculous but it is hard to see it when you’re in that world. Get out for a moment and it will come into focus. We are hastily digging our own grave and covering it with useless shit.

lyrics

Enough

Hello Anne, it’s good to see you again.
It’s been long since our season’s end.
Good to hear you’re doing well.
I guess I’m doing okay myself.
At least I wouldn’t know where to begin…

So I’ll try to be brief. I’ll try to be discreet.
Now that we’re no more than strangers on the street.
Some of me is glad to see you.
Mostly I don’t know what to do.
The rest of me is trying not to act like a fool…

I’m so glad you got that job you wanted so bad.
I got a little money now myself.
Though it’s hard to believe that being a man of means
Was ever all it was cracked up to be
Because all the money I have
Wouldn’t buy any of what we had
When we shared that one room loft.
Without a nickel to our names
We had it so rough
When we had each other and each other was enough.
