'May Your Glass Be Filled' [is a] a bittersweet tribute to late guitarist Michael Houser. JB notes that it grew out of a letter he began writing to Houser after his passing, which closed with a poem. That poem became genesis for the song, which encompasses "past relationships, but also ongoing relationships."
"This one was written especially for Mikey... and that's about that"
-John Bell ('We Miss You Mikey Tribute Show')
