Every song is its own little world - on this one, some words came first, just a handful of them “She never slept in the Chelsea Hotel/But she bought an old guitar just ‘round the corner.” They sat on the page for a while, not sure where to go next - and then, out of nowhere my old bandmate Molly Fitch died from Covid and I understood, in that messy, broken moment that this song was about her. She lived a complex, mysterious life and we had just gotten back in touch after years of silence, cracking wise about our adventures playing at CBGBs in the 90s. I decided to keep plenty of her secrets intact, and tried to paint an honest picture of where she ended up, and what it was like to wake up in a world without her.
Thanks for listening - Marco
