Story Behind The Song

Usually we think of the phrase, "calm before the storm." With this song I was thinking about the "calm after the storm" as I stood in the city of Kamaishi on the northeastern coast of Japan after the March 11, 2011 tsunami. I was standing in the street of a neighborhood in which every house was completely destroyed. Occasionally, someone passed by seemingly lost or walking in a daze or maybe still in shock.
