The 2nd in the UU auction series. The person who won the auction wanted a song about the fellowship, the place we met on Sunday and the community. So I wrote this little kind of sing-a-long folk song.
I wrote it for a friend of a friend. It was originally about a woman, but although I liked the music a lot, the words didn't quite satisfy me. On a whim, I changed a pronoun here and there, and the song became a story.
Middle age sux. You wake up and realize you're not the rebel novelty of your self image. You've grown cowardly, protective and conservative. What the hell happened?
Lyrics influenced by a conversation with a friend whose daughter was in a really bad way. Kind of set the mood for large parts of the challenge for me this year.
