I love my Nomad Deluxe guitar. I've gotten it to make such interesting sounds, one of the best being the organ/steel drum thing you hear in this track. The drums are sampled from two Japanese artists (Shonen Knife and Cibo Matto). The bridge ("rollercoaster of life") was added many years later, and was a piece I had written intentionally to be stuck in the middle of some other song without worrying about context. It somehow works here.

lyrics
You might be asking
what's it worth to me
Absolutely nothing
since you left
since you left
What's it worth to you, sir?
Can you give me an answer?
Can you lend me a hand, sir
and help me forget about her?
You might be pleading
what are my feelings
they amount to nothing
because you left
because you left
we've got to ride the roller coaster of life
we've got to make it through all this pain and strife
What's it worth to you?
What's it worth to me?
Absolutely nothing
This is THE ALBUM about the drudgery of work and self doubt while trying to create something wonderful. I cannot recommend it enough. Planga-La Laboratories
If for nothing else, get this for the song "Snow." It kicks my ass every time I listen to it. It is everything I want to do as a songwriter. Planga-La Laboratories
Dreamy, intimate experimental pop, part of the artist's challenge to herself to write and record a song every single day of the year. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 22, 2017
