The first track on most of my albums is usually the one I really really like. I like to "front load" albums with songs I think are strongest at the time, and let the rest of the tracks fight it out. When it comes to the actual reception of the songs, i'm usually dead wrong on any silent or spoken guesses I may have had. Needless to say, this song was, to my memory, the most recently written at the time of recording and the one I was most fired up about. I sing it probably once a year at this point, but it hasn't disappeared entirely. I still like it.
