This song is about some of the (mis)adventures of Anita and myself.
Verse one describes getting caught for days and days in Oregon rain as Josh and I started our cross country bicycle trip in 2005. A couple pictures shown in the video are quite telling of that trip. The first is my bike with its load strapped onto the back. There's next to nothing on the back of that bike! I carry as much with me to work every morning! But I was able to live out of it for two and a half months. Next is Josh, with his bike on the road, tying a garbage bag around the top of him, with plastic bags tied to his feet. This picture describes the entire trip - we were so rogue we were literally dressed in garbage bags!
Verse two describes a serious mishap with Anita in Death Valley that turned out to be alright. Her group all went to run in the sand dunes at dusk, and Anita, at some point, dropped the only set of car keys in the huge expansive desert, unsure where this happened. As night drew upon them, they all scoured the sand, and it took a very long time until someone stumbled upon them when they decided to try looking again in a previously inspected area.
Verse three describes the feeling of being deep in the high sierra backcountry when it starts snowing on you in the middle of August. It's quite unnerving. But as with all these misadventures, if you survive them, they become some of your fondest memories.
Enjoy the video!
