This song, like all the others I write, came to me in a moment, and had to record right away. This one was originally recorded in 2016 when I was looking out my bedroom window watching the palm trees swaying in the wind.

This song came to me during a time in my life, when I realized I needed to grow up and just be myself, which, for some reason, was very hard for me to do. I guess being gay, and growing up in a very traditional catholic family created a sort of dependency on my parents, my church, etc… I was never really allowed to be me, in my mind. I guess that what trauma can do to a child. My mother passed a year ago, and so this is a weird tribute, but that's me. WeirdAF

Sometimes I record guitar parts and forget about them. Today I went back to an earlier session and when I listened to this, these lyrics popped into my head. It was also very visual, I could see the whole scene. I assume this song is for someone else, as I am gay, but I just had to go with it. I used two voice tracks and the original guitar track.
