Story Behind the SongYears ago, when wisdom was just a word instead of a personal character trait, I joined the U. S. Army. Although it seemed the right thing to do at the time, suffice it to say, it was not one of my smarter decisions. Not too long afterwards, I found myself spending some involuntary time in Bosnia...195 nights to be exact. Approximately 3-4 weeks after arrival in Bosnia I received a letter from my wife with a poem by e.e. cummings. After reading the poem, a couple things crossed my mind: 1. It's nice to be missed; 2. This would make a great freakin' song. So, upon returning home, I eventually set some music to that poem and recorded it with just me and an acoustic guitar.
Turn up the volume to get the full throbbing, pulsating effect of the guitar. This is a true "lust" song.

Lyrics
i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which i will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh . . . . And eyes big love-crumbs,
and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you quite so new
("i like my body when it is with your" by e.e. cummings from Complete Poems 1904-1962. © Liveright Publishing, 1991. )
