In Their Words: “‘One Tear Fell’ is a song Paul Kennerley had started and I helped finish. I think he said he was walking along one day and saw a woman with a tear in her eye. It brought to mind a story and I was drawn in by the mood the moment I heard it. I recorded the song with Russ Pahl adding wonderful pedal steel guitar. Paul was helpful making sure that we didn’t play it too slow. He said I should sing it in a psychedelic manner befitting a peyote trip in the desert. I tried to do so. I pictured myself in a sombrero and with a mariachi band backing me up. It helped. I’m very proud of how the song came out.” — Daniel Tashian
