about

Another songwriter I admire said this about the “occupation” of songwriting: “Most of the time to those around you, you don’t appear to be doing anything…” In some of the solitary spaces of my new life, I often found myself constantly caught up doing things in order to take care of my own mental/physical health while simultaneously waiting for any number of more exciting things to happen – like for that moment when inspiration would strike! On a particular day in May of 2016 I was having another frustrating morning where I felt like my head was completely disconnected from my body. There's a surreal film I love called The Adventures of Baron Munchausen where Robin Williams plays a character called King Moon whose head is literally detached from his body, floating around above it while he's bickering with and then fooling around with his wife. It's simultaneously disconcerting and hilarious. I was feeling much like King Moon. My body was doing all the usual things – running on a treadmill, making lunch, writing checks to creditors – but my head might as well have been on Pluto. To defeat the feeling, I started writing this song. Then I immediately forced myself to go to the studio and record it. The song was Going Through the Motions. It exists on this record in order to disprove its premise.
