The Hot Seat
“This is the hot seat of the moment where I write my songs. There always is a chair. Usually facing out a window. Cruel and confortable. I sit through it all, triumphs and defeats, day after day, month after month, year after year.” -Gus

On writing “One Eyed Jack Pt. III (Epilogue)”
”One Eyed Jack Pt. III (Epilogue) was an opportunity for me to expand upon the One Eyed Jack mythos. Although I didn’t realize it as I was writing it (well, not really writing it physically. I don’t really do that much anymore and most all the lyrics I just come up with off the top of my head as I play the guitar), I had the lyrics:
And in the court the cat it kneaded
The jester’s arm and left it bleeding
Of reaching hands that aim to strangle
And climbing ivy that meant to tangle
The thickest walls and strongest bricks
Came tumbling down all in a blip
and then I realized that the bricks I was talking about must be the bricks One Eyed Jack was stacking when he hurt his back.” -Gus
