Some of us stand on a precipice, for sure. But, most, I think, stand atop a grassy hill, poised for a slow, inevitable descent. Lullaby for Summer is about that descent, or at least meditating on that descent. I love autumn, but it's a melancholy love. The light is beautiful, long and low. And, it is framed by riotous color, in a way that spring light isn't. But, I think it really feels poignant because of what it mirrors - that slow descent. And, when autumn nights grow cool, we really understand what we're about to lose. This is the second song that was recorded outside of the Koop - I played my Martin HD-28 against a borrowed percussion loop at my home studio in Mamaroneck NY, and added all the lyrics I could imagine (not very many).
