Backstory - Grandpa Island


Yeah, I guess the backstory to the song, Grandpa Island, isn't that much like the song, itself.

It's just that, well, you know that island that the Bay Bridge (from the East Bay to San Francisco) is sitting on? It's called Treasure Island. My grandpa was the lead engineer when they built that island, that's right. I'm not shitting you. My very own grandpa built Treasure Island! One day, I thought, wouldn't it be neat if they named that island after Grandpa? It would be called Grandpa Island.


So, yeah. In reality, Grandpa wasn't tryin' to make a utopia or anything like that, like the song suggests. I wouldn't be surprised if ghosts lived there, though.

Here's the newest song, yes. I'm, like, continuing with the theme of grandparents and death. There is sort of a back story to this here song, or, more like, a real thing that happened, but it's probably better 4 U 2 hear the song first before I tell ya what the story is behind it.

Commentary

See, there're lots of rich people all over the bay area that buy houses and then say they're "remodeling" them, but it's all a lie. They tear the house down so there's nothing but the foundation left, and then proceed to build their ugly, nightmare dream houses on top. I seen it all over palo alto. It's bad enough that they tear down houses that've been there for a long, long, long time, but then the houses they build ontop are these ugly, monstrosities. They're just a huge box because they want to make it as big as possible. And there's no yard, cuz it's all covered with big, ugly house. That's what happened to my grandparents' house. It makes me sadddddd.
