In Their Words: “I wrote ‘so terribly hurt’ when I was living in Sweden last winter. I was feeling and thinking how love can be vast and beautiful, while being cold and lonely at the same time. The person who you love most is also the person you are capable of hurting the most. The verses are sung from two perspectives of that love relationship. I have always thought that Molly Parden’s voice would be perfect singing verse two. The thing is, Molly is basically a Nashville legend, so I didn’t know how realistic it would be! We had the idea to shoot the live acoustic video of ‘so terribly hurt’ during golden hour at my house. We did a few takes, and then we had a meal together and talked about Celtic wisdom. Molly has such a gentle quality to her voice. It was an honor making music with her. I am grateful to have that groundedness at a moment in the album which is more tumultuous.” — Brian Macdonald, Victor Mucho
