A poem by Fannie Isabelle Sherrick - Summer Rain, 1860
Oh, what is so pure as the glad summer rain, That falls on the grass where the sunlight has lain? And what is so fair as the flowers that lie All bathed in the tears of the soft summer sky?
The blue of the heavens is dimmed by the rain That wears away sorrow and washes out pain; But we know that the flowers we cherish would die Were it not for the tears of the cloud-laden sky.
The rose is the sweeter when kissed by the rain, And hearts are the dearer where sorrow has lain; The sky is the fairer that rain-clouds have swept, And no eyes are so bright as the eyes that have wept.
Track 5 - That's it, That's the Answer
"That's it, That's the Answer" is a heartfelt song that captures the essence of fleeting moments of joy and wonder in life. Inspired by memorable experiences like watching William Shatner's iconic performance of Rocket Man in the 1970s, Nancy Wilson and George Shearing's rendition of Let's Live Again, and the simple beauty of a blooming flower, the song encapsulates the magic of these special moments that bring a sense of delight.
Track 6 - I Like Trains (Happy)
It's an upbeat song. I was reading a book about Stoics by a magician. Eating lots of vegetable curry among other things, and especially - listening to people.
Track 7 - Potato Dress
A spoon and a moon.
Track 8 - It's Hurting my Brain
Taking stock. Realising it might not be so useful to give advice before you attempt to sort out your own brain, feelings and sense of direction.
Track 9 - Unpredictable Manoeuvre
Most of time I don't like driving around city centres - stop, start etc. It doesn't help if you are feeling grumpy.
