And down inside me

So I basically I had like the first bunch of demos so from the gigs David's talking about there were those early more sort of fairy tale-ish songs and then I kind of I met Devendra Banhart and decided to go to San Francisco and jump on his tour bus and sing backup for him from San Francisco to like all down the west coast like Pacific Highway coast and then There was a man on the bus called Tahiti who I think he'd just broken up with his partner and it was like a terrible fallout and all I remember about him was that he just he had these beautiful blue eyes but he often would wear very dark sunglasses and you just see tears like coming down from underneath his sunglasses.

While we were sitting on the tour bus and all these kind of redwoods and amazing coastal views whizzing past the window and just him looking out the window with these tears.

And that song is about us being this kind of little band of vagabonds, like community saw the best in me, exchanging the common heart for the salt in the sea.
46:44
It was just this kind of sea salt infused, sad atmosphere that he brought.

And so, yeah, the whole song is literally the right hand of the piano just repeats over and over.
