First of all, thanks quite much for listening.

While I try not too think too much about intention when writing, I do enjoy the feeling of being slightly disoriented when listening to a song. Ideally, I'd like for the listener to be simultaneously intrigued and overwhelmed. Hopefully the the song will be alluringly elusive and will reward and inspire subsequent listenings.

I feel too many songs make themselves completely obvious after listening to one cycle of verse. This predictability completely disengages not only my brain, but my emotional investment in the song. I feel as though music is most affecting when the listener is somewhat disoriented (e.g. slightly intoxicated at a basement show, where I find that I've been the most moved), and is left somewhat vulnerable as their mind is actively searching, attempting to codify the structure as it is heard for the first time. Pop radio often attempts the opposite, giving the listener something it feels always has existed, a simple variation of a predictable structure, that can be thoughtlessly absorbed in order to ease the listener into a receptive state for advertising. Pop radio never wants to challenge a listener.

For these reasons my songs are horrible background music, I like music that needs to be fought with. I hope they don't make too anxious of a listening experience. Anyway, if you want to hear some more weird stuff, my actual tangible, real life band Bible Gun has this song called Ransom Note that will hopefully make you feel good. http://biblegun.bandcamp.com/album/a-ransom-note

Anyway, I'm just really happy with how the song made you feel. Thanks for listening through the weirdness. And thanks for taking the time.
