The spirit of this album represents a time past
When music was quietly enhanced by words,
When gestures contained in the scribbled page
Came to life as vast statements.

It speaks for an era when creations emerged as one,
When a performance became a recording, and
Art did not have to be perfect.
Innovation and genius dwelled in the emotion,
The Sentiment.

These works present humanity and nature,
Human nature,
Glimpsing youth and renewal through the eyes of the aged wise,
Revealing no secrets.

The remaining phrases declare themselves in fluid song.
We swell with those curves, following their shape
To an everlasting fade,
Yearning for the darkness that resolution brings.
