In Their Words: “I wrote it as a letter to my grandfather — about my grandmother and remembering her funeral in Anamosa, Iowa. He couldn’t say her name for years without crying. This song has become a chance to explore our connection with the spiritual world and to the feminine. Maybe it’s better explained by someone else — the quote that began all of it for me was from William Faulkner: ‘The past isn’t dead. It’s not even past.'” — Travis McNamara
