This started with a little maudlin rhythm part I was messing with. I liked it, but didn't quite know what to do with it, so I hit record and filed it away. Midway through FAWM, I sent it to Leslie on a whim, and she more-or-less yelled "YES!" and went to town with it. She did that awesome "lyrics and singing" thing she does so well and said "I want something moody, and then crunchy". So that's this.

This is the first song this FAWM where I've had a chance to use the baritone acoustic, and it's such a fun instrument. Managing the build here was interesting exercise, I tried to map out what might come in when to keep it interesting. This was a good time, and it was great getting in a second Leslie collab before the month ended!

Leslie says:
This is a song I wrote for my friend, Jo Butler, who backed my Kickstarter in 2019 and has been incredibly patient waiting for me to write it. At first it was going to be based on a Tarot card (The High Priestess) and then another (The Moon), but neither was large enough to say what I wanted to say about the nature of our connection to each other. Part of it is she’s a Scorpio, and I’m a Scorpio Moon. We match up in so many Mysterious ways, and I love her dearly. Witches are going to recognize a lot of the Work in these lyrics. And Herself, too.

Discovering John is also a Scorpio Moon, I asked if we could turn our second collab into this song for Jo, and he made it SOUND LIKE THIS. Which I love so completely it can’t be contained in this paragraph. I want more pagan rock in the world. Everything about this song makes me blissfully happy.

(John addition: I had no idea I was a Scorpio Moon until last week. It has been a life changing revelation, and I have now rethought every assumption I hold dear. There are no new conclusions, but I'm thinkin' about it.)
