Caterpillars! It’s got nothing to do with caterpillars but I think I had caterpillars on the brain because there was a little caterpillar on one of my indoor plants that I had to relocate to the great outdoors. By the time I finished the song it simply could not be called anything but Caterpillars.

This song came out of the same batch of piano ideas from John Carroll Kirby as Walking at Midnight. Before recording this album, I would consider myself just barely functional at using Logic, but with the pandemic and my own anxiety, I was forced to become very proficient at recording myself. In the process, I accidentally found some techniques (most of which would probably not be approved by “real” “engineers”) that I would use throughout the album. A lot of these are apparent in Caterpillars, with chopped up little background vocals, and a very not professional chop midway through in the piano part. I think it gives it some charm.
