Did you know this was written by a known pedophile and general rich kid creeper:

Reading about that band and Markley is a real internet Rabbit hole, enjoy.

Welcome newbie!

This might make it all creepy, but I still think TDW's cover of it is awesome

Bruh-bruh, i joined before you, we have had conversations, i just haven't been around in awhile!

I saw this article about the West Coast Experimental Pop experience and never really was aware of who had wrote A Child of Few Hours, in light of Markley's rampant psychosis and pedophilia the lyrics take a darker meaning.

This bit on Markley is pretty revealing:

And yea, the cover kills, this version is my favorite:

I don't think I had heard this song before the DW cover, but every time I listen to their version it brings to mind images of the Korean and Viet Nam wars for me. Markley's story is pretty harrowing and somehow fitting.
