Story behind the song
*WARNING*
If you would rather enjoy this piece of art and have it come to mean something truly unique to you, do not read the backstory. Just as the band “Aerosmith” once criticized the music video industry of robbing fans from having their own visions of imagery associated to a song and supplanting it with some “official” footage, so too can knowing a songs backstory potentially come to rob it of having some special place and meaning for you.
Or both can exist. It’s all really subjective. Proceed with understanding.
Thank you,

The Official Backstory
Halifax, Nova Scotia used to be home to Area 52 – a band rehearsal studio where you could rent rooms by the month.
We used to have the smallest room of them all. It was tiny. We had a funk improv band at the time.
Sometimes people would stop in and visit. Sometimes people would take a break and play PS2 GTA San Andreas on the big screen in the main stage room which doubled as a lounge during the day. Sometimes people would need a pick-me-up prior to beginning rehearsal, or one mid-way through.
During these kinds of times, invariably though frequently, someone would … ‘pack a bowl’ … and if it happened in the rehearsal room, we would jam on this song during that.

*this song began as a jam based off of a segment of a bass line by a friend of mine, and great bassist from Nova Scotia, Canada, Pierre Porter. We used to jam this all the time. This segment was a part of a larger work he had made called "Dat Dar Other Tune". Hope you enjoy what I did to that line Pierre!
