In His Words: "My life with god: Catholic, atheist, agnostic. Or, yes, no, I don't know. That's the content of the song boiled to a couple words. It's a very complicated couple words, and it's been a very complicated series of events and reflections twisting through a life getting here. 'Here' is subject to change. There's freedom in not knowing, in taking pause, in struggling to be a good person regardless, in letting go of your knotted preconceptions. Musically, this was a folk song that I also thought could sound cool in the style of a Nirvana or Pixies song. Aaron from Earlimart said he thought it sounded like old Matthew Sweet. I'll accept that gladly as well."
