OK, so long story short, I had the fortune of cranking this song out when my family visited friends in California (pre-COVID) and while I was there I started to read John Steinbeck, Author, East Of Eden. This inspired an idea to write something from Cathy's (Kate) point of view.
A little disclaimer here, I'm not really qualified to write anything from anyone else's point of view except my own, but as my world of experience is fairly narrow I often like to stumble through other people's lives to find a few words to help stitch together a lyric or two. Special thanks to Mr. Steinbeck - the cheque is in the mail.
More importantly, I wrote this for Kelsey Roy to sing with The Luckies. I was trying to pull together ideas to be considered, focusing on emotionally damaged protagonists and Kelsey delivered this one with devilish charm.

So why did I bother doing my own version (you may ask)? Well, it was COVID times at that point and although this may seem a little odd sung by me, I didn't really have much going on that day...
