This is a song about a tough situation that many of us have found ourselves in - being totally in love with the wrong person. I wanted to capture the simultaneous obsession and agony that comes from this unrequited love, and to do that we stepped into Soul music further than we ever have before.
This song is about my guitars - my first guitar Bella Donna, who was crushed when she was run over by a car in a parking lot, and my next guitar Willow Baby who was bought in replacement. It pays homage to the things I created with Bella Donna, while welcoming Willow Baby as a new catalyst for music to be brought to life. The song as a whole is a musical representation of my songwriting process, starting with something small and simple, and building into a swirling cacophony of musical possibilities.
