This is a song I wrote with Tequila Mockingbird. It all started when I was hanging out with her and her cabaret band at a little bar called the Oracle in Chinatown. After discussions of time travel and mythology over several drinks it became clear that she was the perfect person to manifest the archetypal character of Jupiter Major in this story.

Of course Jupiter must have a solo performance at the apex of her power in the story cycle, so we created a little cabaret number for her. On the record she is backed up by her wonderful band, The Blonde Moondust.

The live band and a string section with two horn parts manifest this song on the record; here’s a working mix with a more robust orchestra and a few more dramatic elements:

The Jupiter Cabaret was originally intended to just be a working title (Tequila sometimes refers to this song as “I Fell”) — but it has somehow stuck (for now).
