This song is about the "if it's meant to be, it'll work out" mindset and about using that as an excuse to not grow, change, or work on relationships.

This is a song about struggling with lack of drive or passion and just needing something good to happen.

I sat down and wanted to write a song with my new mandolin and this is what I came up with. This is a leaving song, about always moving and never being content, and realizing that there may be consequences to that mindset.

This is a song about leaving the present behind and searching for something new.

The Robert Taylor Incident, a.k.a. Livingston Incident or Dechmont Woods Encounter is the name given to claims of sighting an extraterrestrial spacecraft on Dechmont Law in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland in 1979 by forester Robert "Bob" Taylor (1919–2007).

When Taylor returned home from a trip to Dechmont Law dishevelled, his clothes torn and with grazes to his chin and thighs, he claimed he had encountered a "flying dome" which tried to pull him aboard. Due to his injuries, the police recorded the matter as a common assault and the incident is popularly promoted as the "only example of an alien sighting becoming the subject of a criminal investigation"

Back in the late 1990s, I was in a female-fronted alt-country/Americana band. No one else in the band wrote songs, so it was delegated to me, and it challenged me to write songs from a female perspective. This was one of my better ones.

Written and recorded about a decade ago with my old band Gravel Train, it is still one of my personal favorites.
