In Their Words: “Chrislyn Lawrence and I wrote this one together. I had it started, some of the lines in the second verse were from a poem she was working on, then we worked out the chorus together. The past couple of years I’ve worked to let go of things in my life that weren’t doing me any good. As my partner, Chrislyn showed me how letting go is the only way to make room for the things your soul is crying out for — it’s like burning away the driftwood to get down to the essence. ‘Little Bit of Love’ is about what can come from that release: letting certain things die away, so there can be rebirth and ascension. Love, in action, is the only thing I know of that can make that kind of transformation happen.” — Mike McClure
