This song is dedicated to Mark Hannah. A hyper, fun guy who even rested at a fast pace. He passed away in a motorcycle accident when he was young. He was the musician JD McArrell always wanted to start a band with. It just never happened.
The song opens with a sincere tribute at the microphone. Then a knock at the door. Then the music fades out on happy chords. Because after a while, grief gets quieter. And somehow you end up happy. Which feels like a betrayal until you realize the happiness is also a tribute.
This song was inspired by a documentary about migratory birds. We don't remember which one.
This one matters. Feel the vibration and record what comes through. Every musician who submits becomes an official member of Japanese Tea Garden.
