A simple folk song dating back to those halcyon days of 2011, Dinosaur was supposed to be part of an acoustic project that I abandoned back when I was a younger man. In those days, I worked at Pet Smart and came home and wrote songs. That was my twenties--hiding inside, writing songs, playing video games, drinking cases of Miller High Life, maybe going out to play at an empty club. What am I nostalgic for, really? My life is much better now. It's my youth, baby. That's what we're missing. The big 40 is coming and so begins the descent into middle-aged. That doesn't mean that life is over--really, it's just getting started. But I do wish I had tried a bit harder to make it as a musician back when there was more of an appetite for garage bands, when I had the time to spare.
