From the days when I played piano better but wrote lyrics worse.

Piano pop with hormones. Edgy. Creative. Melodic. Experimental. Singular.
A piano, a boy, a computer. 88 keys, vocal chords, electricity and a kaleidoscope mind. Enough of that . . . self-promotion makes me queasy. If you're willing to explore it, the key to my subconscious is available. A Skeleton Key. It will unlock all the doors, although you have to struggle with some of the bolts. A slow journey into madness all in a 30 minute album-ette! (so-called because too big for an EP but too small for a proper album). I used to record as Michael Collins. That is what my parents called me. It's already been claimed twenty times over so I decided to take up this one. Songs I wrote as Michael Collins are relics. A collection of some of those songs (called 'Relic'; purely coincidence I assure you) is available. Once upon a time I put out a disc called Fixate. Fixate was OK I guess but some bits of it pissed me off and I had a bad attack of low self-esteem and leprosy (mostly low self-esteem) so I don't talk about Fixate anymore OK?

Story behind the song
I had just broken up from my first real relationship. My home situation was falling apart. I was turning to things like promiscuous sex and alcohol to deal and it was only making me feel worse. I wrote this to reflect my internal landscape at the time, but it isn't as depressing as you might think. The piano bookends are songs that never developed beyond the fetal stage. I'm very proud of the tune, the piano, and the vocal performance.
