Turns out we're getting older, friends. And no amount of stretching, dieting, healthy habits or otherwise will stop it. But it'll help, that's for sure...

I started conceptualizing this one when I was on the road with my old band last year. We were hung up for a day in a Revelstoke hotel and after checking in at the hotel I got the cot - which is fair. We traded out pretty regularly, I generally sleep well on the road, and getting the cot on occasion is just fine by me.

But on this particular occasion I woke up at 4am with pins & needles in my right leg, and I couldn't move it. My whole leg just decided it was paralyzed because I slept on it funny. Before panic took hold I got up awkwardly, did my best to stay quiet, and went for a walk outside to work it out. I walked around the hotel maybe half a dozen times at 4am - and must have looked like a crazy person on the CCTV feeds. After my 6th turn around the building I returned frozen - but grateful that my leg worked again.

Months later I was working on the story, but I needed a chorus... And then it came to me, much like the concept of the song did in the beginning.

I was writing the song, and I moved to get up from my sectional sofa to get a snack - and what came out of me was an involuntary groan of epic proportions.

"UUUGHHHHh... hhuuup."

I didn't *mean* to make that sound. I didn't even think about it. It just came out.

And *ding* - there it was. The realization that everything I do requires a sound. It was as much a realization of my coming of age as it was the perfect beginning to my chorus.

Enjoy, my friends. <3
