This one is more about the lyrics. It's about a farm in Illinois in the 1980s-90s and how the places and spaces of childhood are the world and a planet all their own: 

Well there used to be a whole wide world in the middle of a cornfield. There was a whole other planet, and it came with barn door swingin'. And there was a gas pump sitting in the middle of a gravel driveway, and one day I found a bug or a creature of some kind.

So race my spit to the bottom of a well, and chase me down to the bottom of a hill, and strap me to the backseat leather, put blisters on my skin. In the heat of a lonely summer and the cold of a winter's blight, take me back and let me live on a blade of grass.

Although the wind it could get rough. I could always count on leaves of grass to fill me up...

So on the day when I found a bug or a creature of some kind, an old man told me that he could live on beans and barley wine. So I fed him leaves and loaves of old malty musty bread and laid in the grass of the planet till I got hay fever in my head.

So race my spit to the bottom of a well, and race me down to the bottom of a hill, and strap me to the backseat leather, put blisters on my skin. In the heat of a lonely summer and the cold of a winter's blight, oh take me back and let me live on a blade of grass.

Well way back then I rolled around on tractor wheels and fell of blades of grass, when the big rope broke my spaceship...But I was up again and even though the wind it could get rough I could always count on leaves of grass to fill me up.

So race my spit to the bottom of a well, and chase me down to the bottom of a hill, and strap me to the backseat leather, put blisters on my skin. In the heat of a lonely summer and the cold of a winter's blight, oh take me back and let me live on a blade of grass.

Joe Kinzer's Album

I Won't Ever Understand You

A tune that resembles the energy of a toddler, ya know, toddlering. The music to my mental timelapse of my daughter launching into full two-year-old mode. Also: I am not any of the bosses.
