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 know we have to choose from the songbook, but I think you should some day at least do a cover of the Firefly theme song if you haven't already, because I'd love to hear your take on it ;) And you should totally do Tam Lin (Fairport Convention's version is awesome, and I'd love to see your take on it).
Also out of the running, but something I want to see done some day -- put The Lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock to music. Why? because in Tam Lin, Pamela Dean has one of the characters do it, and I've always wanted to figure out what that would sound like.
Serious suggestions: [bearing in mind I don't know what a good "fit" to the CD is, since I haven't heard it :(] Afterlife -- beautiful lyrics, I'd love to hear it Ariel's Wood -- because it's Shakespeare-influenced and that's really reason enough ;) About A Girl -- ditto on the Afterlife comment Gravity -- ditto, and because Wicked Girls touched me profoundly House of Myths -- also ditto
Oh hell, anything -- I just want to be able to get a copy of that CD, since I discovered you after it was sold out. So I will trust your awesome judgment, just rerelease it, mmk? ;)
