From Tanya's Bandcamp: "In 1995, Belly toured the UK and Europe with a band called Coldwater Flat, who were also part of the Ft. Apache stable, led by Paul Janovitz (one of my many Jano fam connections). We all became fast friends and there was an abundance of humor, much of it supplied by drummer Paul Harding. Years (and years) later, I fell in love with his book, Tinkers (2010 Pulitzer winner) and asked if he had any abandoned scraps hanging around that I could scarf up. He sent pages of wonderful words, and I pulled some of the related imagery into these lyrics. The words are his, so I hesitate to weigh in too heavily on them, but they remind me of the people who grew me up, and how we may fall in and out of knowledge of each other, but we're inextricably woven together. (And a good thing, too.)"
