Draggin' Your Wagon

about

Sometimes music can be inspired by some of the strangest things. Take for example Ludwig Van Beethoven. Despite being deaf, he's often known for wandering the streets humming to himself and somehow able to translate said hums into sheet music which somehow ends up being accurate to his hums.


In my case, though this song was actually inspired by the most mundane of things: Wagons and Carts. I'm sure all of you had this growing up, but Wagons and Carts have been a small, but signifigant staple of my whole life. As a kid I would either ride a wagon or take a grocery cart home full of groceries back when we were allowed to. As an adult, I use them to either carry things I can't, send empty alcohol cans and bottles back for refund or more alcohol or go grocery shopping/food bank. One of those days, yesterday I was borrowing someone's wagon for it and while walking to the place, I hear this sound that one can only hear when pushing a cart around. The sound of four wheels going across the crack between sidewalks, making a two beat sound with the front and rear wheels respectively. For some reason it got stuck in my head until I translated that sound into a drum beat. Which in turn inspired this song.


For the context of this: You're taking your four wheel wagon home, the opening beats being your wheels, but then you hear clicking sounds of another wagon close behind you. You don't know if the person is following you, wanting to get past you or just happens to be there, but either way, you feel nervousness and tension all over.
