Q: what is that song you made about soft clothing about actually?
A: it's about seeing how all these country songs have these awesome titles, sometimes long titles, where the title itself has entertainment value baked right in. i've felt envious about that all my life, just thinking, wow, what a joy it must be to write like that. and i guess for years i never got around to trying it because i was always busy with other types of songwriting experiments. but eventually i got around to it, and i tried doing it, just coming up with the title first, with no music. several things got added to the writing queue, and then in due time some of them eventually got musicified, and then in due time some of them have been completed and recorded. other examples include "mount saint helens is about to blow up, and i'm having a fine swell day", "the moon is made of cheese but i can't taste it", "the easter bunny told me that christmas isn't real but santa claus is still jesus", "the best thing about games is losing them", and many more titles still in the queue
