This song is the third track from The strength of your arm, an album I wrote while doing an artist residency in the Cascade mountains back in 2019. While I don’t believe its songs share characters, I do imagine all of the individual narrators assuming a similar posture or tone of voice to tell their stories. That shared stance or way of speaking is, for me, the crux of the record. It directs what is said or observed; it attends every action, every forbearance.
Today’s single is one of my favorite recordings of ours (the album contains a number). If you are inclined to share news of it, and/or add it to a play list, we are inclined to thank you.
I hope this note finds you well.
