dear Conor,
I miss you, my friend. today is your birthday. I recently exhumed this improvisation we did about six or seven years ago and thought maybe you'd want to hear it. it warmed my heart to hear us laughing and having fun and recording a simple song for the simple fun of it all.
the cover is a picture of us as kids. I wanted to use one of the pictures from when we wandered that park in Kagoshima, but couldn't decide on just one. that whole trip was the most wonderful and reaffirming journey of my life. I will fondly cherish those memories for all time.
the world feels very strange right now. you're on the other side of the earth but that's okay. our bond surpasses time and space. as you once said, "true friendship has sailed the world but can still find shelter in the same port."
with love,
your boi, Matt.
