about

The lyrics are the true story of one evening this winter where Eric went alone into the woods on a moonlit night to battle wolves and hobos (of the non-musical variety) -only they didn't exist outside of his own mind. Satori is the Zen term for the experience of seeing into one's true nature. In the song we're paying homage to Gary Snyder, the great poet of deep ecology and Zen Buddhism, and we're channeling the coolest hip-hop group of all time, which of course is the Digable Planets.
