"Things So Simple" was inspired while hanging out on my long-time bass player's acreage out in the country. She had a pole standing in the middle of her backyard and I asked her "what's that for, your pole-dancing habit?" She laughed and replied that is was originally for a clothesline. I don't remember clearly how the rest of the song lyrics evolved from that - probably I was noticing little things about her place and the nature around it. Our 3-piece all-girl-band Thaneah And the Ten Feet Of Hair" (circa 2005-2008) loved playing this song as it was upbeat and fun, in contrast to many of my songs on "Kaleidoscope" that are more on the serious or philosophical side.
