Watched the striking new documentary last week and it spun me out, so was glad for a bit of catharsis by way of playing this number at the bull’s head on Saturday (thanks to everyone who came along and sold it out! 💫)

Wrote it for Father’s Day last year, after some unrecommendable internet rabbit holes into fathers of certain prominent men. The absence of nuance is tyranny someone said, but when the nuance is generational trauma this hectic, I understand the desire to not look it up. Anyway, a dear friend at the gig had also watched the docu the night before and said she enjoyed the song, so here it is, warts and all.

Big love,
Chris
