Making the most of the eclipse

The Great Umbilical

Happiness is a feral, brutal, contagious thing. A reverse-engineered disease. It struck me, when two of my friends had their first child. Inspired, I set out to write a song that is an attempt to celebrate birth as the ultimate joy and hope to our finite existence. Nobody really ever dies. We live forever, in our children.

I give you 'The Great Umbilical'.
