Songs of the Stag Track 6 > I’m a Wanted Man 🦊

Every day or so I’m sharing a track from my novel’s playlist alongside some annotations!

There’s nothing I enjoy writing more than a notorious character, and The Fox of Thorterknock is certainly that. She’s a character of duality, who cultivates a reputation and allows it to precede her. She’s a law unto herself, and takes glee in the outrage she sews.

But on the other side of the coin, she’s Aggie, a girl afraid of her own shadow. She’s equal parts drawn to and terrified of peace. This song is bombastic to the point it feels like it’s overcompensating until we reach a slowed down bridge where the narrator questions if they’re able to change their ways, much like our beloved Fox.

“They didn’t know it when they turned me loose

I shot the sheriff, and I slipped the noose”
