when I was in Texas on tour, I went birding at a natural area that sits right at the US-Mexico border. my understanding is that this border wall has been there since the Bush era, though it may have been upgraded. seeing birds fly back and forth over it underscored how artificial the line is.

The chorus (“always be you”) isn’t only my grandpa speaking to me—it’s me speaking to him. Not just as my grandpa but as a human being who struggled in his own particular ways, and who eventually needed caretaking

I thought about the wood my grandpa turned into things like bird houses and bird feeders and a case for my souvenir spoon collection. I wondered what ghosts might be lurking in all those wooden things, and I wrote this impressionistic song

WOODEN is out today 💚 I ran away in high school & ended up living with my grandparents till I graduated. One day my grandpa gave me a small rock engraved with the word “Always”. I asked him, “Why ‘Always’?” And he said, “Well, you’ll always be Stephan. And I think that that’s a good person to be.”
