April 6 - Family Happiness

This sing is a bramble of sound with a story wrapped in it. The urgent multi stringed guitar rolls onwards as John's words give us a couple in a bitter desperate conflict they don't understand at all.

It's not a new observation that relationships in decay are a staple of John's songwriting. Although decay might be the wrong word. Strife, perhaps. Love ripped up by the brambles of the world. The "you" in this song can't make the "me" in this song go to war, but he's perfectly content to do that all by himself.
