song 100 : Coyote (and DJ outro) (Nonpoetic Rain: Live on KXLU)

One of Lucid Nation’s biggest hits from the popular DNA CD, even though I wrote the lyrics, I still considered this Grit’s song. I had expected it to be a very heavy emotional experience for me, but the previous song Déjà vu had released so much emotion, Coyote came out surprisingly light hearted.

I was still moving forward, I was still singing, I was here on the radio, singing to L.A. held hostage by a storm. All the misfortunes and heartbreaks of my life, I was still turning them into music, still letting them go. They could have wiped me out but they didn’t. Like the song says: “Hey you missed me.”

The end turns surprisingly sunny to close our set. A reminder that the clouds will part one day and sunshine always returns. “Whoa, little coyote, rock on coyote.”
