i like to think of it as a love song for jim o'rourke. he and thurston had
something very special. so special that jim had to dash to another continent to escape the severe emotional distress that the dissolution of said union produced within him.

According to visions magazine thurston says (i try to translate it) about honest james: "This song is about the relationship to my elder brother. He's living a completely different life from mine, he's married, has children and a down-to-earth (?) job, where i thought: fuck it all, i go to new york city and see how far i come... independent of us two, this song describes the honest dedictaion (?) of what you do. everybody in his own way."
