about

most often, when i'm writing about someone i know, their role is somewhat peripherial to what actually happens in the song. 'ms. stacey watson, stepney green', on the other hand, is the most straightforward one i've got. ms. stacey watson is a wonderful friend, living in the stepney green area of london, famous for its sheep on the stepney green itself. my last weekend in the uk was spent with stacey, eating late night sweet potato curry and dancing at detournament in brighton until the sun came up. the second half of the song is as deep as it gets: "why must love play games with geography?" it's all a love-letter mash-note thank you-gift to stacey for helping me get over my first real heartbreak, and it's epic and propulsive just like she is in person. and oh. "she's making foutains out of puffs of clay" is a weird line unless you know some of stacey's work -- the above still, for just one example (where "puffs" came from, dig?). the current mix we've got sounds a bit like george harrison's 'wah wah' where it should sound like the velvet underground's 'beginning to see the light'. h'm.
