For some, my notes are specific, and in others I withhold some of the mystery. All things considered, they are meant to be like little messengers, from me to you. I hope they are swift and sure footed. Some elements of the stories are ever-changing, based on all sorts of variables. I didn't write them here exactly as they are sung, because it looks too formulaic on paper, especially for those who've never heard the music.
Good songs are like liquid.
They are born with the shape of the experience that inspired them, and when they are heard, by their nature, they adapt to fill the shape of their container. This is the experiment of true communication.
