I love this song! Evokes an ageless time of wonder. Who can’t use that these or any days? At first I remembered a favorite Lyle Lovett tune, then yours took me somewhere else. Keep a goin’!

Love Lyle - ! If the one you’re thinking of is, “if I had a boat”, I remember hearing that song for the first time. I was driving across country and I literally pulled off the road. Love that song so much! I’m still in previews for this show, but I’m going to get to your origami soon, I promise!!

I love this!

“Fear is not a godly tool

Your hands are all you need

They’re good for raising up in prayer, sure, but they’re also good for

Planting carrots and beans”

What a wonderful lyric. Made me tear up, I can’t wait to see where this song goes.

I love love love the guitar as it develops in this, from spare to dense. Oh yes. And the way the chorus also gathers meaning.

Basically all of it🩷
