The Arizona-born artist tells about a mystical person - 'Mary Jane' is both a real person and the idea of a person. Between our reality and the world behind the mirror, Mary Jane is a dream, is a muse, is a patroness, and is a person that comes to life on both sides of the looking glass.

You may wonder why there is an apostrophe in the album title at a place where it does not belong – I guess that is basically an intended deed by the band in order to trigger grammar fetishists. Or maybe, they used the apostrophe that they omitted in the previous album title “If you fight you wont always win, but if you don’t fight you will still always lose” . Nevertheless, both album probably will not need any further explanation since The Big Mackoofy obviously practise what they preach, and hence – nomen es omen – here are “More Songs ...
