My sweethearts were having trouble sleeping – the world was pressing too hard from the outside and thoughts were pressing too hard from the inside. I wrote this song in the hope that it might get stuck in their heads and lull them to sleep and to calm.
When I wrote it I didn’t know that infinity is its own can of worms for many folks. The idea of losing oneself in the endlessness of time and space, though relaxing for some (me), throws others into a panic. The second, more colorful, song is a rewrite of the first without infinity.
