about

I cut, pasted, and moved Nick Earl’s electric guitar parts around in February 23 like an avant-garde art piece experiment. My quasi-hypnotic acoustic guitar figure remains constant while he blips and bleeps his way in and out of the song. I think it creates a disconcerting effect. The effect is deliberate. It is, in my estimation, the sonic re-enactment of two separate relationships with women who shared the same birthdate of February 23. One relationship was my marriage, which lasted just past a decade, and the other was quite brief. Still, the dramatic instability both women seemed to effortlessly sculpt made a profound and lasting impact on my life. I struggled with writing the liner notes for February 23 more than any other song on SSOS. I dreaded it then flat-out avoided it. While I enjoyed the process for most of these songs, it was the opposite for this one. But then one night I had an important realization. A quote from an Amanda Palmer book that I love suddenly seemed especially appropriate: "When you are seen, your eyes must be open, and you are seeing and recognizing your witness… everybody wants to be seen.” Everybody wants to be seen...at the heart of February 23 is a very frustrated me that only wanted that very thing. I couldn't understand why it just wasn't possible, why I wasted so much time waiting to be seen through a veil of unhappiness.
