These four songs were written over the last few months of my dad's life. Together, they chronicle his death and the emotions of the aftermath. There's the anticipation of heartache (The Shovel and the Oleanders), reflection on his life (The Orchard), the void left behind (New Kind of Empty) and the fragility of memories (Fade To White). In many ways, these are the most personal songs I've written.
