Name: Wilderness
Duration: P00H02M59S
Description: "Wilderness" is purposefully minimal, raw, and meaningful. We recorded it without click, live, in one take; the engineer, piano player, and I were each separated in iso booths, but still together. We could see each other through glass, and feel each other through headphones - much like most of the world when it was produced and released.

lyrics

Smiling but I know that kind sadness
Wilderness knows that all of this passes
I’ll stand with your stillness, I’ll hold your worry
The heaviest burdens are quietly carried

And I don’t know what to tell you
I don’t know how long this is gonna last
But I know you’ll get through it
‘Cause I always have

Though my soul may set in darkness
It will rise in perfect light
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night

Lost in the past or long for a future
But if you’re gonna love her, you might have to lose her
'Cause I feel alone whenever he holds me
Oh the best kept secret is everyone’s lonely

So I don’t know what to tell you
I don’t know how long this is gonna last
But I know you’ll get through it
‘Cause I always have

Though my soul may set in darkness
It will rise in perfect light
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night

So while your soul may set in darkness
It will rise in perfect light
May you love the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night

May you love the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night
