I wrote this song directly after buying a brand new guitar in LA (Martin D45).
When I wrote the words, I played around with, changing various sentences I believed in, into the opposite, (by putting “don’t” and “not” into the sentences).
It was quite fascinating as I realised that what makes me happy, or gives me meaning, is closely connected to what makes me doubtful or sad.
They’re two sides of the same thing.
That realization made me appreciate the ups and downs in life in a more meaningful way.
