Earthbound

about

The opening story in John Mauk’s book Field Notes for the Earthbound is a tale of a small-town life. The focus is on two boys obsessed with a girl who can supposedly fly. The story is one that lingers and burrows deep into the psyche. The idea of transcending gravity and, in the process, the day-to-day, along with the physical sensation of flying, unencumbered through the air like a bird is something that I dreamt of, dwelled upon, and wished for as a child, so much so that I used to experience vivid dreams that were as crystalline as reality. These dreams were the inspiration for this solo acoustic baritone guitar instrumental. One of the wonders of youth, which sadly vanished with adulthood.
