So I am considering—not yet wedded to, but considering—re-releasing Stars Fall Home, since it's currently all out of print and stuff, and that's no fun. But being me, I'm not willing to do this if I don't feel that I am in some way improving things with a re-release. This means a) that I will probably re-record "Sycamore Tree," to resolve some issues I have with the vocals, and b) include at least one new song, for the sake of, you know, making my lizard brain not freak out about spending time on something I've already done.
I think that In Glory and In Thunder follows the theme of both going past what you believe your furthest horizon to be ("We have to learn to seek the stars./It doesn't mean we'll never move/Beyond the things we've yet to prove.") and finding healing in places that aren't exactly traditional ("Where the pathway to redemption/Means we bid the ground goodbye"). On a more personal note, it is one of your works that resonates deepest with me (and even on a day when I'm not out of words, I can't do anything but point at it and go "That. Just...read it.")
