Jodi & I circa 1997, at Wetlands in Tribecca, about the time I wrote Insomnia. Jodi was no longer in the band when we recorded it years later. However, I chose this pic because it harks back to a time of innocence, when I had unbounded natural energy. R.I.P. old friend.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wrote this song over 20 years ago. Strange revisiting old recordings. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but a song captured in time can say so much more.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Essentially, I am reminded how much energy I had when I was in my late 20’s. Manic, perhaps. And though it’s a natural tendency to feel nostalgic for the past, I remember that I never relaxed. Ask me about a TV show back in the late 90’s, or a movie and you will notice the gaping hole in my pop culture knowledge. Simply put, I could not sit still on a couch or in a movie theater for more than a few seconds. Still, I miss that young woman’s burning kinetic energy.<\/p>\n
