I missed the road and wanted to head back on tour. I wondered how that would affect my family life and thought that maybe my traveling days were behind me. I would tell myself that I'm older now and maybe there are more important things to do. But then I wrote an album and heard my partners famous words she says when I'm down and out, "we can make anything work". I fantasized about coming home after a long while away, after burning through all the miles, the anxiety and wearing on my face the places I've been, to come home fulfilled by the power of my dreams and with flowers for her.

Everything Shawn William Clarke does is pretty. Pretty guitar playing, vocals, songwriting, and with this album, a lovely sonic landscape. Perfect music for drinking your morning coffee while gazing out the window. Track 1 is the most calming and hopeful music I've heard in a really long time. Bet Smith
