	There is a certain moodiness and preoccupation with death I sense in the stereotyped Scandanavian temperament. This one is all about death and dying, a subject I got pretty close to for six years of thinking that I was dying within a mere couple of years from Hepatitis-C. (I didn't die, thankfully - a miracle 11th-hour cure came my way. Rebetron, for you savvy ones.) Facing one's mortality (and impending and guaranteed doom) over an extended period involves giving up on every dream and aspiration you *thought* you had an entire lifetime to complete or attain - not easy. I occasionally get totally blubbery when I listen to this one, so don't be surprised if it moves you in a similar fashion.

	Story Behind the Song Performed on a Korg Wavestation in a prolific year. Had nothing else to do but write music every day. Some good results. And I didn't die like I was 'supposed' to, so I foolishly forget sometimes how fragile 'like a bubble' life really is today. Remember that, I remind myself.
