about

This tune is a rumination on the difficulty of both accepting and giving support in a challenging moment.

To make the tune, we returned to our lake-house-turned-studio in the quiet town of Goodview, VA where we made our 2019 LP. This time, we left our fidelity-focused digital recording rig behind and opted instead for only a small format Midas console, a 4-track cassette recorder, an array of unique microphones, and a love for room sounds

lyrics

My dear friend, it's no good to just sit around thinking,
"Who might put a light in their eye,"
Now that you're old news.

My lovely friend, you're good.
Your heart is an open book.
Your old life's not coming back, but maybe a new one could.

"Why don't you quit feeling so bad?"
Your friends say that it's easy. They've read a book about it.
You're not gonna live forever - no, one day you're gonna die.
You better come down from that lonely mountain while you've still got time.
