Backstory:

I came across a journal article about anomalies in human circulation, including the pros/cons of "Renegade Veins".  I thought "bingo---fab song title!"  The gritty vibe, a Bonnie Raitt voice and guitar, and edgy "I'm dumping you" lyrics just spilled out from there.  It was an easy write.

Lyrics:
