Cover art for Things Are What You Make Of Them lyrics by Bishop Allen

I was supposed to spend my winter in sudan, and my visa wasn't processed in time. So I spent two weeks in a both physically and metaphorically icy Kansas City. this song was my story..

"My memory, she was packing" - saying goodbye to the rest of my team as they drove away to the airport

"My common sense" - A dear friend that I wasn't going to get to see, that I got to spend an evening with and who gave me advice and encouragement

"A meeting with Jesus Christ" - I went to the Cayman Islands on the last week of my break. I expected god to explain some grand reasoning behind what had just happened. I put my iPod on shuffle with the songs one of my friends had loaded onto it for me to listen to, and this wonderful song came up.

.... And that was how I became a Bishop Allen fan.

Memory
