Carlile wrote the song as a poem, expressing a desire to confront mortality and the transient nature of existence, while also questioning societal norms that glorify

" Constructed around an old John Lennon demo

achieved one hit wonder immortality with a dance craze song

Ryo Fukui worked on developing his live skills

and believe

like playing a harp placed upside down behind his back or playing two or three harps simultaneously

From beautiful acoustic ballads to swinging big band numbers

" Both spent days driving through on empty rural highways listening to the mixes

Words & Music

Not Yet A Woman”

In this way

part of that comfort may be the vague

that was abandoned in 1998
