about

This is a recent version of a song I originally recorded the night I wrote it, in October of 2006. The lyrics are a play-by-play (albeit somewhat of a riddle) of what happened to me wandering around the U District on a Monday night, ending with going home and writing the song in my room that night. A circular song, with a title that hints at both a beginning and an end. Ironically, it came back out of nowhere as Olympus's last recording even though it predates the rest of the band's songs.

Kenji takes vocals as well as organ on this version, and Luke programmed some awesome drums and mixed the song. I just played acoustic guitar and bass. I also had laid down electric guitar, which was later lost in a hard drive crash - probably a good thing because it was basically me trying to be The Edge and I think it sounds great without it.
