Nattalee Poortman (spelled different so NP stalkers won’t google her and come to this page!)

So I wrote this song after reading some of “The Seducer’s Diary” from Either/Or by Soren Kierkegaard. (I was curious because of Elliott Smith’s album Either/Or).

I wanted to write a love song, but I had no “target” as my Japanese friend Gen would say back in the day.

The Nattalee Port-man song was the last of the “fantasy/stalker/love letters” kind of songs that I wrote. It’s really obsolete in my mind, and playing it last night reminded me of that. In fact I screwed up the last part because I was thinking to myself “man, this feels foolish. My girl smokes NP!” haha!

For reals though.
