This dreamy tune finds Dre Babinski, who performs as Steady Holiday, examining her psyche, as she sings about "holding onto weakness only as a ploy." The song has a very literal inspiration though: it's about her fear of water. "I'm not a strong swimmer and I'm extremely anxious around water," she said in her Songfacts interview. "It also represents something that I very well could learn. It's something that can be learned, and yet I haven't in a very childlike way." We hear this sentiment when she sings: In the shallow end I never learned to swim I'll get the courage one day When I am faced down in open water
This was Steady Holiday's first single, and also her first video. She worked as a touring musician for Hunter Hunted, Dusty Rhodes and the River Band, and various other acts before releasing her own material.
