Peter Cross is the songwriter and the singer.

Commentary:

This is one of the first songs I ever wrote, and it must be the one I recorded first because it is the first song on the old quarter track tape which I found in my box of music memorabilia back in 2004. Obviously, I didn't have much to say of real importance here except that it's necessary to keep going in the face of adversity. Many other songwriters have said exactly the same thing with different words. However, I obviously did recognize quite early on that I really am a little bit crazy, and you can see that all over this web site.

This song is kind of cute, and the piano part sounds a bit like some kind of circus music theme, which is probably what I intended at that time. Within about a year of recording this song, I joined my high school friend Tor Pinney's group The Dolphins, and I learned from Tor how to choose unusual subject matter for my songs. However, there are several songs in the Seminal Song collection that are about something different, notably My Secret which is about reincarnation (it was written many years before I learned anything about reincarnation), and Dirty Hippy, which is about me and it became my anthem for the 1960's. So I already had the inclination to write something different before I met Tor. He just inspired me to keep trying harder in that direction. And when my time finally came in 1994, it wasn't difficult at all because what happened to me then really was something completely different (thank you Monty Python) - but it wasn't in the slightest bit funny. Just something very different, and definitely worth writing about.
