This is a song I wrote in the early 2000's and only performed live an open mic once in 2012. The song is loosely about someone I knew. A wild-child who didn't think she deserved to be loved. And often sabotaged relationships before they had a chance to happen. She never used to the word 'whirlwind' to describe herself but she always came across to me that way. She would enter a room and just bring this crazy energy. 

As far as my own original songs go, this was a sound that I was experimenting with and had I continued my songwriting journey, I think I would have loved to keep on this trajectory. Maybe one day I'll revisit. For now, am just leaving this here.
