You should listen to a lot of different music.

Families of privilege and money would have harps in their parlors, and their cultured daughters would learn to play. It's got such a strange history. But that wasn't the context that I learned it in, so the inherent friction between that history and the more humanist folk-y history wasn't in my conscience at all.

I recorded harp first or singing first. I recorded it all together. Part of the reason is that I don't know how to play the songs without also singing. I forget how they progress. I don't think that any of them are verse, chorus, verse, and so on. They are not simple.

I can understand someone not liking the voice or the songs.

I am consciously trying not to make it sound Celtic or African.

I am always trying to write.

There are some mornings when the sky looks like a road.
