Genesis
of "Percy's Song"
This is simply put, a
heavy song.
I have a friend, nicknamed Percy, who is
battling cancer. Has most of her life. To my recollection, a few years
ago, she was diagnosed in remission.
Then a few months ago, like so much guesswork
in a white coat, the doctors told her it's back, and time to start
treatment again.
Now, She's told me about this occurring before (being told she's fine,
to find out later more treatment). For some reason this just hit me
harder than normal. And I wanted to know more.
So, we IM'd as she explained to me her
treatments: the iodine, the chemo, the geiger counters and the bed she
makes in her bathroom where she literally camps out on the weekend she
does chemo.
Her resilience has always struck me; her
fondness for life is in the amount most of us are clueless on how to
achieve.
Yet, this time it just bummed her a little more than usual.
And I thought immediately of that moment in time when her mind races and
composes. When she processes the words "has to do it again",
for that instant, still feeling like she's on the other side of life.
XTRA LITTLE HOOHAA:
I wrote the song, both musics and lyrics in an afternoon, and recorded
that evening. It was a Monday, as a matter of fact.
I added a bass line to the song a few days later but, to piss off my
bass player friends, it doesn't come in 'til the very end anyway.
Enjoy.
