DESCRIPTION:
A jazzy groover. Swinging beat with much action on the ride. The chords eternally rising.

About 4 minutes long.

A phrase I read in a book by modernist (early 20th century) author and painter Wyndham Lewis. (He was a big favourite of Captain Beefheart)

What's it about? Around about more than about.

"Matey, From On High". This is how, I am sometimes told, I relate to people. Or maybe, how I hope that I do.

Also another of my songs worrying about the faux intimacy of the digital age.
