Lyrics
Now, when I close my eyes
Rooms dematerialize
I soar above salt water
Warm sand under my hands
I’m free
I have all the time in the world
I’m free
I used to keep quiet
Before I learned words
My bones dried, were chalk
Hot and heavy
I balked
Hot and heavy
In the world
Weary
I opened the door
Dug up the photograph
Ball point pen royal blue:
“I have failed 1999.”
Blessed is the one whose sin is gone
She cried

The music that comes from the 15 year collaboration of Daniel and Lauren Goans is praised for its poeticism, evocative harmonies and unflinchingly distilled arrangements.
When not on the road, the Goanses tend to their two young children, care for the land and woods that surround their home, and record in the barn-turned-studio at their rural refuge near Charlottesville, Virginia.
