Medicine Wheel

This is a sad song in a happy box. As a writer, I am more often inclined to work when I am in a somber mood, but at the same time, I don't want to have an entire set of sad songs. So, I took the gloomy lyrics and wrote a happy melody to them. Medicine Wheel is musical irony at its best and when I perform it live, I chuckle a bit to myself because I know the audience has no idea what they're singing along to is so melancholy.
