This is a rather sad song about someone finding love, but then having that person succumb to addiction. Since I started song writing, a lot of the song narratives I find myself writing about are focused on finding (or losing) love. Like many people these days, I've had a number of family members and friends suffer with mental health / addiction issues. For this song, I tried to use some of my personal experiences to try to capture what it would be like find the "one" but then have that person go through these challenges.

Music is, was, and probably always will be an often brutal and thankless career path for most musicians and songwriters. Lots of work for not much money would be way too simple of a summation because for serious songwriters and musicians, the emotional toll of trying to forge a path in music proves to be emotionally unbearable from time to time. For most, money is secondary to their passion, but rejection after rejection and the creeping feeling that the sacrifice, expense, and work won’t ever amount to anything is often so damaging that it makes even the most promising question themselves. Learning to cope with disappointment is not an option if you love making music and want to share it with people and that in a nutshell explains the reason for writing this song. A reminder that writing is supposed to be fun.

I wrote this song several years ago as a humorous take on the traditional Honey-Do List, but featuring things definitely not to do. I recently rewrote some of the lyrics, and used SUNO to improve my guitar/vocal demo. Thanks for listening
