On Seaside

“So I got a letter awhile ago. It was a couple years ago. And I got it backstage and it was from a 13-year-old girl. And she said, "In all the bombings I lost my best friend." And she was 13, too. And this came from the Middle East. And I carry that letter around. And this little song came and she was gonna be on Scarlet's Walk but she's here tonight instead.”

"Originally, Seaside was on Scarlet's Walk. However, as I started tying the story together musically, geographically, and of course, the element of the narrative itself, I came upon a sticky wicket as a writer...It became crystal clear that Seaside had to have occurred within the sonic structural realms of pancake. Almost as if Seaside is the moon to pancake's Mars. Therefore pancake and Seaside are obviously a tension of the opposites. Each polarity is giving Scarlet an understanding of what's really at play here at this time. Both songs are giving her a clue"

(this quote is from when this song was called Fresh Mown Grass)

"And sometimes when I'm with my husband or when I'm with myself, I feel the greatest passion is feeling myself, feeling that I can open up, like the earth would open up. It's a kind of birthing with myself It's tapping into that vortex and you don't need another person for that. I've been writing a song about that called Fresh Mown Grass about how women are really able to access that through kundalini and have a complete orgasm, just because we're women and can align ourselves."
