such an awesome song; I like both versions. nothing wrong with liking one and not liking the other
From an interview with John K.
"Anchorless has more to do with - it does in a way, but it has more to
do - that's a very hopeful song for me and I know most people don't
see it that way. It's about a family member close to me that died, and
who our family had some conflicted feelings about. Who I really never
got to know as well as I should have. And who just didn't seem able to
express himself all his life. Didn't seem able to show affection and care
for other people, and that song is about how I don't wanna end up that
way, and how I resolve, like, not to be that way. Not follow that pattern
that so many people have set for them. I think so many people are emotionally
stunted by the places they live and the people who bring them up. So to a
certain extent yeah, you have to leave that behind. You have to say like
"I'm starting fresh right here - no baggage." So I'm trying to escape that."
