Thanks for listening Lil. I recorded this so quickly that the vocal was a stream of consciousness. Didn't give it much thought. That said, I've been traveling a ton and even when I'm home I'm not entirely present. I think the lyric is just me saying, "hey pal, keep working hard but be present too." "I'm alive, so they tell me, but sometimes it feels like a guess."
Yes, that's definitely the point. I'm one of the listeners. I will wake up the next morning and not recall the song, hear it again and think "wow, what's that all about?" My interpretation of my own words evolves over time. Once in a while it will click and I will think, "it's so obvious what this is about now." This song was like that for me. Took years to figure out: I love and miss you too Lil. Best!!!! Steve
