Cautionary tales: A song inspired by an East Village move

David Farrow, the musician behind the East Village project Certain Lives, shared this recently released video. 

He explains the story behind the track: 

This song was written while I lived on 13th Street between A and B, and tells the story of moving from Ninth street to 13th Street. Foolishly, I thought I didn't need to rent a U-Haul, but could instead carry all of my stuff over the course of a week from 9th to 13th. 

As the distance added up and I started to lose my mind, I fell for a scam buyer on Craigslist while trying to sell my bed frame. 

The song is a cautionary tale, but also an embrace of the naivety that comes from letting yourself trust someone else.
