This song is about what happens to you (or what happened to me) after being out of a car for 16 days straight at a music festival. When I got back in the car and began to drive, I realized how fast I am always going in gas powered vehicles, and how much I actually miss because the flowers are whizzing by too fast for me to notice. So, on this day, I pulled over and started looking around me, and this song is about what I saw. It was spring, and there were beautiful wildflowers everywhere. In Texas, in early spring, there are many colors and varieties of flowers, compared to later in the summer, when the only survivors are red, or yellow, and sometimes orange if you are lucky. On this particular day, the fields were full of purple, and white, and yellow blossoms for as far as I could see, and I started thinking about how it would be if I were flying over the top of all of it, looking down at the earth. Then I got carried away and began dreaming of cooler places to live, like Oregon, where it is WAY more green and cloudy than in Texas, and I had this vision of flying all the way to the West Coast, over a mountain, and directly over the ocean, just like a bird. People do daydream... And as fast as I was there at the ocean, I was back in the front of my pick-up truck, looking at flowers I have only seen relatives of in Colorado. Lupines. Only these weren't Lupines. These were a different color of purple. I felt like my entire life of living too fast to appreciate simple things like this roadside vision had flashed before me and all of the sadness and amazement of that moment welled up in me and I wrote this song right there, by the side of Texas road, in the heat of the early morning, having just stayed up the entire night playing music by campfires. It's about feeling your feelings, not denying who you are, and realizing that the medicine to make that happen to you is inside every one of us, all the time, right now.
