about

From ‘Small Believer.’ This is a song about losing someone, about imagining their soul heading into the ether and hoping with every fiber that the leaving is full of freedom and depth and beauty. In this year of loss, this song especially felt like a prayer of sorts. We took our time recording it, let it stretch way out and reverberate. Galen played layers of spacious organ sounds and leaned into the interior of a grand piano to pluck the echoey strings. Micah made cymbals sound like breathing.

lyrics

there’s a shine to a night like this
to the way your body moves
and the lines of your silhouette
and the rise of your fragile bones
and the lift of the whispered wind
and a song that you never heard
and you’re riding on silver wings
and you’re leaving the blue world

and the bells of the mission ring
and the bricks bring an echo back
there’s a glow and it’s covering
everything in its gentle path
and you dreamed of a night like this
and the call of a fallen bird
and the beauty of it all is
that you’re leaving the blue world

and no one to call your name
and no one to bring a rose
and you come to the heavy gate
and you open it all alone
and a wild magnolia blooms
on the damp uncovered earth
and the twist of the tangled roots
and you’re leaving the blue world
and you rise like an ember caught
in the smoke of a single flame
like the candle a lover brought
just to light a beloved face
there’s a shine to a night like this
and the stars never fell so near
and your soul like a golden gift
and it rises and disappears

Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer. Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself. Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night. Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me.... moonandstar8765

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
