"Shiver" is a song I wrote for another young lady with whom I was also smitten. Did I mention that all of these songs were about how I couldn't get a date? Anyway, this song is a nostalgic piece. If you've ever had the privilege of attending the Governor's Schools of North Carolina (East or West), you know that the experience exposes you to a number of motivated and dynamic people. You're all in the same place. Everyone's getting ready to go off to college in a year. You share the same experiences. You have meaningful discussions. You become the best of friends. New friendships begin. Some of them live on. Most of them don't. This song is about one of the one's that lived on, at least for a while. She was a dancer. We talked a lot about God...but in that collegiate, esoteric sense. You know, crystals, feelings and things of that nature. We were a whole year ahead of the "what does it all mean" discussions I would go on to hear on the balconies of Morrison Dorm. For me, this song is a window to the past. I hear it and I see the person I was and the people and things I surrounded myself with twelve years ago. I hear it and I'm glad that life has moved on. It's good to look back every now and then, though.
