Love, Only For The Sake of Love

“’See,’ they say, ‘how they love one another,’ for themselves are animated by mutual hatred.”

I Am Your Father, II – Sea of Tranquility

I don’t like the idea of providing narrative on my songs, much as I used to do it as a young fool, but I am going to do it here in the service of love to my firstborn son Benjamin.  I would not want to leave this life without having been clear about this one. A number of planets lined up to make this important now, almost 20 years after the song was released.
