from Lydia:

The process of writing this song together was pretty natural. We listened to some of Neil's favorite songs and drew inspiration from their use of nature imagery and metaphor and the bluegrass style of music, rhythm and songwriting. The idea for the song began with the image of a cypress tree that brings him a lot of peace and clarity when he takes the time to sit and let his thoughts settle. Then the song goes on to explore a relationship with his friend. The chorus carries us to the river rushing by the cypress tree, offering a way forward even in troubled waters. The bridge is a moment to ask some difficult questions about the relationship that ultimately bring us back to the hopefulness of the chorus. The song comes full circle to the cypress tree where the main character reunites with his friend, either in his thoughts or in reality, it's open to interpretation.

Some words from Shayna:
Life Never Ends formed in an organic way as Liz shared some of her recent findings from her journey. She talked about scenes and moments of revelation; moments of presence that captivated her and the lessons each taught her. I learned so much from Liz’s wisdom and insight. She was inspired and found a talent within herself for the art of song. I am so grateful to have been a part of it and even more thrilled that she sang lead vocals on the recording!

Water Child (By Crea with Arnold)

“Miles to Go” was written and recorded in Fall 2018 by Christina with Austin Classical Guitar in partnership with The Livestrong Cancer Institute and The University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. Christina received her cancer diagnosis 3 years ago and has since been undergoing treatment at MD Anderson Houston.  She currently serves on the Young Adult Advisory Council for the Livestrong CALM Clinic, set to open in Spring 2019 at the UT Dell Medical School.

Christina is a loving mother and wife, biologist, computer programmer and athlete living in Austin TX. She is a seamstress extraordinaire, with a lifetime of experience knitting and quilting beautiful textiles for her friends and family. The poetry and music Christina wrote for this song paints a picture of her frequent drives from Austin to Houston to receive treatment. She describes the experience of “waiting” for answers and for treatment while bearing the “weight” of the situation. Christina uses the language of sewing, quilting, and knitting to convey her message of strength. You can learn more about Christina at her blog at https://bearingthewait.com

Arranged and Recorded by Claire

I can bear the weight
I can bear the wait
I can darn me where I’m worn
Mend me where I’m torn
I can bear the wait

Passed the Starlight Drive-In again
Time to ask the same old question
I am stronger than I know
Miles to go, miles to go

I can bear the weight
I can bear the wait
I can darn me where I’m worn
Mend me where I’m torn
I can bear the wait

My body, like a patchwork
Passed around to a team
This is not the home for my soul
They have cut me at my seams

I can bear the weight
I can bear the wait
I can darn me where I’m worn
Mend me where I’m torn
I can bear the wait

Passed the Starlight again on the right
Time to take my answer home
Grab my quilt I made years ago
It reads mile to go, miles to go
