Q: I am mystified by rabbit snakes, and yet it's one of my favorites of yours. I'd never assume it's an artist's place to explicate their work but do you have anything to share about the motivations or context of writing it? Thanks <3
A: yes, basically i was getting more and more frustrated year after year that the songwriting just wasn't happening, despite feeling very terribly overqualified for it. i had already envisioned a strategy of 'making the first part bad', but even that wasn't getting me anywhere. so i updated my strategy to: 'make the first part really insanely bad like you don't understand like please really go ahead and sabatoge the thing'
