In Their Words: ā€œMy overall outlook is less self-centered now. Iā€™ve quite enjoyed the transition to solo work. I had gotten burned out by album cycles and the ever-spinning wheel. Now, not pushing myself constantly to keep the machine running has led to more freedom and happiness for me. And there are other advantages to solo decision-making, as opposed to an all out democracy. Iā€™ve grown more confident in my abilities, and more mature in my handling of the ups and downs. I canā€™t really tell if my approach to the music has really changed. But I realized long ago that Iā€™m at my best when I pay attention to inspiration and feeling, and just let everything unfold on its own.

“Long walks in nature, and reflections upon lifeā€™s mysteries, birthed this song. Listen closely in the first verse after the lyrics ‘birds fly in patterns, singing songs’ and you may hear what sounds like birds chirping. This is perhaps a cosmic coincidence. We believe itā€™s organ and/or guitar frequencies in a high register. Either way, leaving it in there was a no-brainer. Jamie Lin Wilson and Kelley Mickwee, formerly of The Trishas, provide the angelic background vocals.” — Kevin Galloway
