about

Janelle Bane and I met at a New Year's eve party back in ... ... 2001? She has always been up for anything, and has always had my back. She gave me free reign to write a song for her. What came out is rather melancholy, but speaks to her depth.

This is for a woman who "breaks the rules" of society with integrity - from following a passion in boxing ... to eating raw, whole foods & ferments for a seriously delicious, nutrient-dense & colorful diet ... to following her heart in the jungle that's out there. An avid reader & cat lover, historian & book-maker -- Janelle is a free-thinking, beautiful, STRONG woman! She'll kick your ass.

Love you, girl!

lyrics

looking out the window
cat in your lap
book is laying open
but you're not looking at that

you're gonna put your boxing gloves on
no one's going to tell you what to do

no one's going to tell you
just what to do
when your mind is on taxi-cabs and fermented food

put your boxing gloves on
no one's gonna tell you what to do

eyes so blue and heart so true
whatever will you do?
eyes so blue and heart so true
you're the one breaking the rules
