1. Close Enough – my love song to Roger, my husband, co-writer and loving companion of many years, with gratitude.
2. In My Own Way – facing aging graciously, honoring our own path, intertwining with another while not losing ourselves, and chuckling at the things we do that get in our own way.
3. Sentinel – around 1850, during the Irish famine, whole families would come over to America, sometimes leaving one person behind to hold onto the lease on the land, so that if it didn’t work out in the new country they could go back. I wrote this song from the perspective of the one who stayed behind.
4. Save It For A Rainy Day – modern life, too little time. When is that rainy day going to come?
5. Cardboard Habit – a funny blues song about hoarding storage containers, an addiction more common than you might think.
6. Bees Are His Friends – Is this a song about a beekeeper who prefers the company of bees to humans, or do we all befriend bees despite the occasional sting? I certainly know a few.
7. Too Good At Letting Go – sometimes we give up at the first sign of trouble, sometimes we hang on too long. Wisdom would say every relationship is unique and deserves a fresh chance, but we are sensitive creatures with long memories and sometimes we’re too quick to preempt potential pain.
8. Ashes, Ashes, All Fall Down – a haunting tale about two brothers during the Civil War, one who fought for the north and one who fought for the south.
9. Espresso Coming Soon – a song inspired by a trip to the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state, and the sight of a run down bait and tackle shop in the middle of nowhere with a huge banner on the lawn in front of it that said “Espresso Coming Soon”.
10. Wash ‘n’ Wear Heart – exploring the nature of the vulnerable heart using laundry metaphors and a healthy dose of puns.
11. I’ll Be With You When You Go – with love and compassion for the complex characters in our lives who mirror back at us the parts of ourselves we’d rather not see, for aging parents whose lives are winding down, for their children facing the long trip after getting “the call” and wondering if they’ll make it in time, for all those who’ve come up to me and said “Thank you for telling it like it really is”.
