about

This is the first song Aura and I wrote together, back when a “band rehearsal” was just the two of us in my Logan Circle apartment. She gave me some potential lyrics and asked me to add the music. It had been almost 5 years since I’d written a song, so I think I was excited to squeeze in lots of ideas, which explains the dense chord progression. I gave Aura the first few lines of the melody, and then she ran with it. I loved the hook and the high notes she found for the chorus, and I realized that I had to make something work with this singer.
The lyrics are a good example of Aura’s obsession with road songs, a genre that I also find irresistible (like Joni Mitchell's “Coyote” and Springsteen’s “Thunder Road”). Aura likes to say the words are about a donut, and you’ll hear a reference to the “HOT NOW” sign at Krispy Kreme. She wrote these lyrics after an early morning drive home from an exhilarating gig many moons and bands ago, and she claims she showed reasonably good judgment about everything but the donuts.
