In 2005, I faced some serious decisions regarding treatment after learning that my Hodgkin’s Lymphoma had come back. It was hard to know what to do, because whichever option I chose came with some consequences. Ultimately I chose to undergo a stem cell transplant, which was a nasty affair with a tremendous affect on my emotional state as well as my body. Now a few years later and cancer free, this song seems to have creeped into my consciousness again. I decided to finally record a demo version this past Monday.
Along with the piano and voice parts, I recorded some background melodica and some kazoo parts reverb-ified.

Happens in stages
Dog-eared pages
Two roads at your feetHeaven and Earth
Or what it’s worth
You could take chances or time
Also recorded on Monday was a song called Little Black Boxes, inspired by The American Widow Project.
