I don't know how many people have written songs about their own conception. Perhaps this is the first.

About the song
This track is a strong personal statement, probably the most difficult track for me to share. The lyrical matter concerns the very earliest moments of my existence. I don’t exactly keep it a secret that I’m adopted, and I’m quite happy to share, with anyone who is willing to listen, the exciting story of my successful (and surprisingly expeditious) search for my birth mother in 2003. But the fact remains that I was (most likely, at least; I haven’t pressed my birth mother for details) conceived unintentionally, under less than ideal circumstances. And that fact is a cloud, however small (most of the time), over my life. This song is my attempt to address that.
