This song was written and recorded in 3 hours five minutes in response to a song challenge from "The Cow Exchange" Tyler Goen from Green Bay on the FAWM.org boards with the following criteria:

1) At least two lines must start and end with the same word.
2) At least two lines must be in the form of a question
3) All events must be presented in reverse-chronological order.
4) There should be an instrumental section using all non-musical instruments.

I added the additional tangent of making the 2nd verse a reverse of the 1st verse. -Charlie

**************************

Today I took two long walks
In Eaton Canyon with my brother's dog
There were speckled rocks everywhere
It's rainy season
So there was water running
That seems unusual to me
But I'm not from here
I've only been here once before
I've only been here once before

Pleasure makes me want more pleasure
For more is what I want more for
Pleasure makes me want more pleasure
For more is what I want more for

Aspen is the dog's name, Aspen
Walking is a good thing, walking
Aspen is the dog's name, Aspen
Walking is a good thing, walking

Do you wanna walk now Aspen?
Do you wanna go right now?

Ten is the time when we were on our walk
Nine's when we drove there in my brother's truck
Eight's when we had eggs, coffee by the cup
Seven's when my eyes opened, barely waking up

(Insert blender, whisk, grater, and phone solo section)

(2nd verse same in reverse)

I've only been here once before
I've only been here once before
But I'm not from here
Which seems unusual to me
There was water running
It's rainy season
There were speckled rocks everywhere
In Eaton Canyon with my brother's dog
Today I took two long walks

(Repeat some other stuff from above)
