THANK YOU to my friend Lee Hall for sharing this song with me. I bought and have listened to the mp3 at least a hundred times in the last three days and cannot get it out of my mind. Thanks again Lee.
"This is one of their songs that is written so well that it could be taken two different ways. Can't decide if I want it to be about losing touch with reality or dieing. Maybe both."
My first impression was that it was about dieing, but it could also be about goin crazy or being cursed. I can imagine the events being described happening to either.
If you you listen to this band and want to know the inspiration behind the songs, I challenge you to look up some info. The songs are impressive on their own, but I am typically amazed by the source of the music. They are well read sob's. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting these videos. Love the Handsome Family. Part of me wonders why they aren't immense, however the selfish part of me is glad they aren't as I feel they belong just to me. Would love to see more vids if you can upload them. The dreamy, bittersweet nostalgia of the ones posted fits the songs so well.
These Handsome Family videos are a pleasure on every level. Visually and lyrically,in music and in content, perfection!

Dude. It's about dying and becoming a ghost.

Sorry.... I thought you said "dieting". Drinking-posting bad. Although you did misspell dying. ;)

Indeed, they are.
Bret and Rennie are most impressive on numerous levels.
