Tredecim Options

Is there a story about the song Tredecim and why they named it that? I had to look up the meaning of the word. (13 in Latin) That is my favorite song off the record.....just wondering if there was a story behind it.

Lead singer, Kevin Martin talks about the meaning behind Tredecim, “As I started to focus in on the song I over heard Chad Taylor mention feeling as though he were in the Harvest Moon of his life, the fullness and strength he was feeling with the new material. It made me think of the calendars life that we follow each and every year in regards to how it would celebrate its life through story or song. Beginning with the Harvest Moon and ending with the rebirth of life as in the birth of the Harvest, a years cycle actually being 13 in regards to the birth month not ending at 12 with death. It may seem a little strange to read or comprehend but it made perfect sense to me!! HA. The lyrics represent that full heart, the tired Autumn, the sleep of Winter awakening with Spring and the birth of life. Ending with the statement ‘my life has made me flatland” as in unending, no obstacles just plains running as far as the eyes can see, our “calendar.’”
