In Their Words: “This song’s a bit of a deep cut for me. About a decade ago, just after graduating from college, I was working full-time at a ceramics factory in downtown Worcester, Massachusetts, and part-time at a wine bar. I had a tendency to do about as much wine drinking as serving in the role, which didn’t work out so well for the owner. One day, after having some sort of blow up in a relationship and likely over-serving myself as the bartender–immediately leading to a mutual agreement with the owner this wasn’t the right fit–I found myself alone in my room in Main South Worcester and wrote this song. Coming out of college with a super-practical philosophy degree, working two jobs, and overdrawing my bank account every week, it was easy to feel like a boy in a big man’s world. But even today, with a job, and at least a good long while without an overdraw, it’s just as easy to feel the same way–especially since the self-appointed ‘big man’ started running the show in DC.” — Jeff Cramer
