Apricity by Todd MacLean
"Apricity: UK /a'prisiti (noun) - the warmth of the sun in winter"
In the week following my Mom's passing in March 2022, our friend Roger MacPhee from Belfast wrote me to say that he prayed that through the pain of the loss, that I and my family could be granted "A portion of that peace that goes far beyond all human understanding."
It took a while, but eventually, I actually felt some glimmers of it. And how astonished and grateful I was in feeling this. And thankfully, I still feel it, in daily glimpses. Reaching toward a portion of this peace, amidst our losses, is what I'm aiming at with the songs on this album - for you, and for me. But mostly for you.
