about

(My homie Drew, aka New Reb is like a big brother to me and he made this beat. I went to his house to get some reggae musical vibes but when I heard this soulful and strange beat full of bird sounds (I love birds y’all!!!), I fell in love. My entire verse is written to have a triplet flow, which is a cool exercise in mathematical writing. As for the subject, I grew up mostly in small towns during the pre-internet era, so this song is about leaving those small towns, yet feeling nostalgic for them, even as I know I would and could never go back. We live in a time of profound technological change, which I think is largely cool, but I also love the wild and worry for the future of nature.)

lyrics

I grew up in the woods,
in the mountains with our wolves
a hippy child free and wild
it feels like another life
so much has changed but anyways
I'd explore the forest for
feathers berries magic fairies
feeling at peace as the breeze
through the leaves of the trees
waved high
I said goodbye
to the spirit of the forest
I fell in love with the stranger
and I moved to the city
yet something was missing
can we know who we are
if we can't see the stars
I tried to go back
to that old town
but the forest cut down
the mills shut down
it's a ghost town now
so in search of the forest
where more bliss is found y'all
I want to be in a place surrounded by trees
That grew eternally but yo I worry
So from the train tracks of our past
to traffic jams on trampled lands
the city expands in urban madness
Can’t stop what’s gonna happen
And so today I'm going camping
with my family relaxed and happy
because it feels real good
to be just with my kids
playing in the woods…
