about

Let the Wind Come has an organic, rootsy Americana vibe reminiscent of a Nashville string band but with a low-key electronic, contemporary flavor. With a strong nod to my roots in Indiana and Kentucky, this song reflects my deep love for the music of the Smoky Mountains even as the fat groove and the cool swagger in the guitar and vocals mark it as a hybrid acoustic offering. The lyrics reveal a strong wish fulfillment streak in my dream life, apparently including granting myself an apology that will almost certainly never materialize in my lifetime.

lyrics

Lean in to listen to whispers of truth
Wait in the silence for all that I knew
Sensing her words through the bones in my head
Murmured confession is nourishing bread

Let the wind come and carry away the ashes
Let the dust go on the landscape of who I am
Let me be good, abandoning all these questions
Let the wind come, so I no longer give a damn

Falling asleep with her words in my soul
Wake with a question to fill up a hole
After eleven years, why do you speak?
She falls into silence, confession complete

Let the wind come and carry away the ashes
Let the dust go on the landscape of who I am
Let me be good, abandoning all these questions
Let the wind come, so I no longer give a damn

Somewhere between blessed and tired
And quick to take offense
Fertile with catastrophe
And sometimes too intense

Open the box with the dried up remains
Seeking compassion for all it contains
Rest in the place where my heart needs to heal
Lean in to listen to words that are real

Let the wind come and carry away the ashes
Let the dust go on the landscape of who I am
Let me be good, abandoning all these questions
Let the wind come, so I no longer give a damn

I don’t give a damn

In addition to songwriting, lead vocals, and writing the harmony vocals, I played acoustic guitar and performed backing vocals on this song. Kenny Schick, my producer, also sang backing vocals and played or programmed all of the other instruments. Kenny recorded his parts at Basement3Productions in Nashville, Tennessee, and I recorded my acoustic guitar parts in March 2022 and my vocals in May 2022 with Steven Glaze at ToneFreq Studio in San Jose, California.
