Alright, that Ricky Martin interpretation was almost too much for this Americana, Heritage Folk templar to bare. Just plain strange -if you ask me [shaking head in dispair.] So here I am again, having to clear things up.
My role as a music reviewer makes me privy to "behind the scenes going ons" in the folk music arena. I was there when Amos Lee serenaded the Governor, Jim McGreevey of New Jersey and his exotic Portuguese-born, second-wife, Dina Matos. This song is Gov.McGreevey's first wife, Karen Schutz "grieving." Mrs. Schutz-McGreevey truly was unaware of "The Honorable" Governor McGreevey's nocturnal persona - that overtook him completely, until a full confession to the press was necessary. The backstage rumor, the night that Amos played for the Gov.of NJ, was that his first wife had followed him to the skinny-dipping approved, Gunnison Beach, NJ. Gunnison Beach was where she discovered her husband's business trips, with his manager, were actually extracurricular, marital excursions. This was an embroiling discomfiture to the young balladeer. Penning this verse was his correspondence of sympathy to the Govenor's wife, who was said to have been overtaken with confusion and heartache.
