Little Kin

One of JB's, and personal enough that the band would not go into it. Schools would say only that it is about childhood, and that being an adopted child made it land on him too.

‘Little Kin’ is a... lyrically I can't really go into it too much; it's one of JB's and it seems highly personal... I luuuuv that song!... it's kind of personal to me too because I'm an adopted child... I guess it's about childhood and learning to deal with the things of life. As far as a bass player, I love it cause it's just a slab of greasy, raw funk.
