DESCRIPTION:
This song is inspired by the story of Neil Hope, an actor from the original Degrassi whose 2007 death in a rooming house was just reported to the public.

Thanks to Tyr Jami for letting me use her beautiful space and her white piano (you can see her in the background) and to Malcolm Bauld, Denny Manchee, Eitan Cornfield and Joseph Cornfield for inspiration.

Also, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't musically inspired by the records I'm listening to on repeat right now - Sharon Van Etten, Karen Dalton, Bahamas, and of course Joni.

Lyrics:
Everybody's talking Whitney, where's Wheels?
You think you know how it feels to fade
like a flag on the highway, like a flag

No one knew when he was gone
He never talked to anyone
Left an empty flask, no one asked

Sister called the motel to see what he'd said last
Five years gone by, still no time passed

We raised him up, we let him fall
never really cared at all
What's behind those eyes? Greyer skies

Evenings in the early spring
the smell the lilies bring
wheels in the driveway, and away

He said
All I ever wanted was you
All I ever wanted was you
All I ever wanted was you
All I ever wanted was you
