The story behind the song

Mildly inspired by my dad and grandfather who introduced me to music as a kid. I wanted to write something in the Cats in the Cradle vain. Another horrible vocal but I like this as a piano piece. Gimme a break, it’s a one take record!

Big labels take 85%. I take whatever you throw in the jar. No ads, no paywall, no suit in a corner office. Just a guy, a guitar and a lot of late nights.
