French Dream was inspired by an electric piano sound from my Korg Krome synthesizer

I Reserve the Stratosphere for You and I was inspired by "Hold Me Gorilla Monsoon by Colette Arrand, an excellent book everyone should buy and read:
https://opopress.com/hold-me-gorilla-monsoon-colette-arrand

The epigraph for that book is the transcription of a promo by Dusty Rhodes

It was also inspired by meeting my lovely wife Helen Seitz (it's a love song!)

Space Inside is based on a true story

Left and Dull features lines taken and rearranged/ re-written from The Escorial by Gerald Manly Hopkins

New Bern, Nu Burn was inspired by visiting Eric and Jamie in New Bern (not by their relationship though!) during the pandemic and by Fantasie Rock, specifically the Seafood Billy Expanded Universe (SBEU)

Fallout 2020 is an adaptation of an older song called Fallout, available on Bandcamp

Temp Control is the instructions on my old microwave, inspired by writing songs based on texts, an idea I copied from Danny Vaughn.

If You Didn't Have to Try to Stay Asleep features the rain in the background, and the middle 8 was finally written while visiting my brother Jon, his wife Amanda his children Henson and Jasper with my mother Melissa when they lived in Panama and we went to the beach with the black sand.
