Dear Friend (track with cover art)

This one is written with far-away friends in mind, that we've met over the years of moving cities and travelling for music. It felt especially pertinent during pandemic lockdowns, when even local friends felt far away. It's pretty simple lyrically, meant to be a letter with little updates and reflections, and tuning into the sense that we can feel close to our loved ones even when they're far away. It's amazing how we've never lived in the same town as some of our closest friends. We incorporated the sound of rain that friends in Rockport, Maine recorded as it fell upon their cabin-like rooftop. We tried a tea kettle too, though it turns out a whistling tea kettle is a little jarring! Still, this gives you an idea of the cozy atmosphere we were going for. -Sarah ********** LYRICS Dear friend, I'm thinking of you April showers are pouring down As I sit to write this letter Spring is coming round I’ve been keeping warm with ginger tea Trying to move the chill in the air I’ve been dreaming of weaving Maytime flowers in my baby's hair How've you been, how's your lady Are you writing good poems these days? I've always liked the one you gave me Of dead sunflowers in Spain How'd it go last night in Toronto? Did you pluck the heart of your cello? Did you see the woman crying In the shadows of the back row? Did you feel your heart beating? And the whole world breathing? Late last night I had a dream I was walking along in a forest In a clearing ahead there was endless summer And people singing in chorus Do you remember when we were kids Come November we’d greet the winter We had too much fun to feel the cold Or worry about getting old We felt our hearts beating And the whole world breathing Even though I'm far away And the hours get shorter every day I think of you often, it makes me smile And the space between us melts away for a while I feel our hearts beating And the whole world breathing ********** CREDITS Song written by Sarah Frank and Luke Fraser vocals, fiddle - Sarah Frank vocals, mandolin - Luke Fraser vocals, harp - Ellen Gibling cello - Catherine Little bass - Scott Kingsley recording, mixing - Graeme Campbell mastering - J.
