about

The autumn is always the most reflective time of year for me, and this year is no different. If anything, my impulse to gaze deep into my own navel is more pronounced this year, thanks to major life changes. This song doesn't go too deep -- I'm gearing up for a Mount Everest anniversary track next week, so I have to keep some gas in the self-reflection tank. This is a nice folk strum that asks a few questions. This has been a big fall, so I know I will look back and ruminate on who I am at this moment. Do I feel like I know myself? Am I somebody I will look back on fondly? I hope so.

lyrics

Who am I this November?
What do I offer from my hand?
When years from now I remember
How will I reflect on who I am?

All the way down
All the way deep inside I turn to face
Deep inside another way
I am a stranger to me some days

I may need to ask a favor
I may need to ask it of myself
I may need to place a wager
I might need to place it on myself

All the way down
All the way deep inside I turn to face
Deep inside another way
I am a stranger to me some days
