RU indulged me tonight in some musical reminiscing. We listened to a handful of random FIP songs, a couple old and unfinished solo tracks, and the two most recent songs I’ve recorded. It made me really wish that Matt and I had recorded the second record because we hit this good streak on song writing and six years later it still sounds good to me. Ah well.<\/p>\n
I was trying to explain to someone the other day, maybe it was PM, that lately when I reflect on my life, I feel like I’m looking at terrain from the 30,000 feet. I couldn’t really make out the patterns and shapes while I was so in the midst of them. I needed some distance that I suppose age has given me. Or maybe it’s age and grief. I dunno, but now I see things more clearly, like how I move from place to place. In fact, bet I’ve lived in at least 20 different apartments, houses, etc. in the last 30 years, but I’ve only had three real jobs since I was 22.\u00a0 Work has been my stability, which is not to0 different from my dad, something I didn’t realize until tonight, when it occured to me my dad only had two real jobs. Worked for Kenny Meiring and then worked for Joe Breach. Of course it’s not unusual for anyone from his generation to have had lifetime jobs. So I don’t want to draw too much from the similarity.<\/p>\n
Mostly, what’s interesting is the idea of terrain — that at some point you can see the shape of your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
