If you grew up in rural MN, you know that Moms like to tie their kid's mittens to their sleeves so they don't lose them. This is a nice little song that plays on that image. |

A song about how we can't tell the difference between truth and entertainment on TV-and a lot of what we think is truth is actually just propaganda. |

The Beat writer, Jack Kerouac, spent years hitchhiking from coast to coast and he wasn't content with calling a place home. I think many of us who are battling our quarter-life crisis can relate to that. |

I wanted to write a song that expressed the emotions of frustration and anger (if you don't know me, you should know that most people don't think I'm capable of it). Don't worry- you don't need to start locking your doors at night on my account. One thing that does make me mad, though, is that there is no solution to our political system that puts the power into the hands of corporate giants. |
