A companion piece for "Acceptance", sort of. I wanted to see more of John's sisters. Livvy, specifically. The only person John seemed remotely human around in "Terra Firma" was Livvy... so, how about some sibling-interaction? And, hells bells, I wanted Livvy to know about the baby.
Title, this time, comes from a Guster song called "Come downstairs and say hello" that I had been listening to non-stop at the time.
some of the lyrics (as I hear them, anyway): (and you might see why I thought it was highly appropriate!)
dorothy moves to click her ruby shoes
right in tune with the dark side of the moon
someone, someone could tell me
where I belong
be calm, be brave, it'll be okay
no more messing around, living underground
and new year's resolutions
by this time next year I won't be here
I turn on MTV, the volume's down
lips move, they say
it'll be okay
