One day, I stumbled on a story about the "Atacama Desert" in South America. It’s the driest place on earth. It only rains there every 7 years, . . . , when the El Nino comes. And then it bursts forth in life with flowers, and plants, and birds, and bugs. The painted desert. Only to fall back into dormancy (and melancholy) when El Nino is gone. . . , I just had to write a song about that story. It’s from the perspective of the desert as a lonely woman waiting for her bandit lover to return.
