This is another of those songs that was caught in the gap between my moving from Missoula and my arrival in Portland. Between Tarkio and The Decemberists. It was, technically, a Tarkio song — and for those who don’t know, Tarkio was the band I formed in Missoula, Montana while I was at school there. We released a couple EPs and an LP and then shut up shop when I moved on to more westerly pastures. Most of our output was collected and released as Omnibus by Kill Rock Stars in 2006. This is a song that Tarkio played live, but never recorded. I played a Zoom show during the lockdown and it was requested, so I dusted it off. I like it! It’s very simple, a little cynical, kinda personal. Enjoy!
