I wrote earlier that this record is about recognizing or attempting goodness. One thing I haven’t shared: most of the songs are memories of loved ones who experienced profound disappointment and suffering and—in spite of those evils—were exceedingly generous.
You can find lyrics (properly formatted) and credits here. If you like free verse poetry, I’m especially proud of pages six to nine (i.e., “An arm around your waist” through “Dove’s tail in pink light”).
