Sean Kiely "Love Live The Low"
From New Jersey Stage:

“This one may be the thesis of the record: a love letter to the weeds, the dry rot, the small stuff underfoot that nobody’s looking at,” Sean explained. “An acknowledgment and ode to entropy, even when it’s coming for the stuff we love.
“The song started with a line toward the end of Theodore Roethke’s poem ‘Long Live The Weeds’: ‘Hope, look, create, or drink and die,’” he continued. “That in turn led to ‘hope is a carrot, maybe it’s a trick,’ a clear-eyed take on the nature of hope. If the mansion on the hill gets a song, the weeds coming up through the sidewalk deserve one too. Give nature some time and it makes quick enough work of man’s best-laid plans.”
