In Their Words: “Working with Tom on this entire project was an incredible gift and joy. He was so gracious with his time, his creative energy, and his enduring passion for music and songwriting. This song is just so well-written, with such stunning and unique imagery, so we were really excited to put our own spin on it, and create some moments where the harmonies and instrumental passages could accentuate the lyrics. We were all down at Pulp Arts studio in Gainesville, Florida, and had just tracked our parts and sent it off to Tom to record in Virginia. We got his final verse and played it in the control room. It was so powerful and emotional to hear his voice on this track, revisited 50 years later. Seeing it side-by-side with some footage of him singing in the ’60s really connects us with the power of music to connect people across space and time, and how there are aspects of humanity that transcend both.” — Shane McLaughlin, Buffalo Rose
