This song comes from the same “songwriter / monologue broken telephone” night at Wenona back in February that birthed the Rachael Cardiello (Zinnia) tune on the first mixtape. Our pal Jamie Johnson wrote a monologue, then gave it to a songwriter who wrote a song based on it, who gave that to a playwright who wrote a monologue based on the song, and so on. That process repeated a few times until Chantal Cadeny gave me the wonderful, dark monologue that I based this song on. I wanted a slightly off-putting sound in the background, so I used a sampled soprano choir and pitched it down a few octaves to get that “male-choir-but-not-quite-right” vibe.

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
