Context: Terry Scott Taylor ( born May 24 , 1950 ) is an American songwriter , record producer , writer and founding member of the bands Daniel Amos and The Swirling Eddies ( credited as Camarillo Eddy ) . Taylor is also a member of the roots and alternative music group , Lost Dogs . He is currently based in San Jose , California , U.S. Taylor is highly regarded for his songwriting skills . These often include allusions to and reworkings of material ranging from Elizabethan poets to modern authors . Foremost among Taylor 's influences is William Blake . The Daniel Amos album title Fearful Symmetry was drawn from Blake 's poem `` The Tyger , '' and numerous songs across The Alarma ! Chronicles series of albums have Blake - inspired references . Some other poets who have influenced Taylor 's work are T. S. Eliot and Christina Rossetti . Eliot 's poetry inspired the song `` Hollow Man '' from the Doppelgänger album . `` Where Dreams Come True '' from Taylor 's solo LP A Briefing for the Ascent draws heavily from Rosetti 's poem `` Echo . '' The inspiration for many Daniel Amos and Taylor songs from the mid- 1980s can be found in the book Behold , This Dreamer : Of Reverie , Night , Sleep , Dream , Love - Dreams , Nightmare , Death . This book , compiled by Walter de la Mare and published in 1939 , contains poems and essays that appear in Taylor 's songwriting . De la Mare is thanked in the liner notes of the final installment of The Alarma ! Chronicles , Fearful Symmetry . References to contemporary authors also appear in Taylor 's songs . One example is the song `` Shape of Air '' from the LP Darn Floor - Big Bite . The song explores the mystical musings of Annie Dillard found in her Pulitzer prize - winning book , Pilgrim at Tinker Creek . The album is also heavily inspired by the works of Czesaw Miosz . This is especially evident in songs like `` The Unattainable Earth '' ( which was named after one of Miosz ' books ) , `` Safety Net '' , `` Pictures of the Gone World '' , `` Divine Instant '' , and `` Half Light , Epoch , and Phase '' . On Taylor 's 1998 release , John Wayne he credits more influences ; Flannery O'Connor , Dennis Prager and Frederick Buechner . During the 1990s and into the new millennium , Taylor 's songwriting for the Lost Dogs and on other projects turned away from more esoteric themes . The songs crafted during this phase of Taylor 's career marked a shift toward `` Americana '' and , in some ways , a return to the country music sound of Daniel Amos in the early 1970s . The primary vehicle for this phase of Taylor 's songwriting career is the Lost Dogs , with a number of noteworthy solo projects . The Lost Dogs began in 1991 as a one - time collaboration between vocalists and songwriters from four different bands at the behest of their label at that time .
