about
I really felt like I had sucked all the oxygen out of our relationship trying too, too hard...
NOTES: I still love this song, it is just such a perfect image of well-intentioned mismanagement of love. I played the ukulele with a sort of desperate abandon that was new for me, not like anything else I've ever played on the guitar or a ukulele. I don't how or why I went so high on the chorus ... but it just released so much emotion -- both sadness and a type of funny strength (mocking my own sadness; I was near tears the whole time I was singing). I just made the melody up on the spot, one take and have never played the song again.
Really, it is mostly straight blues ... very comforting to play, a pattern of 8 bars I've practiced thousands of times; I hardly ever give myself that option in songwriting. I seemed to relax and get into the singing in a way that was also new for me. I love that the word smorgasbord is in this song.
