In Their Words: “When we were first conceiving of this album, we knew that having our dear friend Sarah Jarosz sing harmonies with us would be an amazing treatment for one of the songs. We’ve done a number of opening runs with both Sarah and her illustrious trio, I’m With Her, and backstage we would often about talk about the music we love. In these conversations James Taylor would always remain as a favorite of ours and although none of us know him, we can all agree that his music is just as dear to us as any friend could become. In our humble opinion, the chorus to ‘You Can Close Your Eyes’ is one of the greatest ever written, and the song inspires a longing for the way we wish life could be as only we can feel when listening to a child of the ’60s sing about their romanticized experience of the ’70s. It was truly an honor and serious joy working out the harmony for this song with Sarah. We hope you can hear the love in the song that permeates through our friendship and our collective wish to see a world where we all can close our eyes safely sheltered by those who love us.” — Adam and David Moss, The Brother Brothers
