Estragon

Not to be confused with Eragon (that's next week), this song was inspired by a play I saw back in college called "Waiting for Godot."

The play is a little bit confusing, but like all great works of art leaves lots of room for people to project their own selves into it.

Thus "Waiting for Godot" can be either an Existentialist, Atheist, Christian, or Nihilist allegory, depending on who you ask, how much they've had to drink, and whether they've actually ever sat through the whole play or not.

The character Estragon strikes a chord with me, in that he's kind of spacey and doesn't have it all quite together. So I tried to write this from his perspective.

(I was not right on top of the camera so you may have to turn your speakers up a little. Bear with me. There was nothing to be done.)



Incidentally, there was recently a London version of this play starring Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan. OMFG I bet that was amazing...

Take it easy,
