LYRICS

How are we here?
The days months and years
Lookin back on how far we've come
And not just on one
Flyin by like a bird on the wind
And it's all a blur can't remember a thing

Mothers and daughters! Fathers and sons!
Where are we going? From where have we come?
Remembering all of the pain and the love
Through all the time we spent under the sun

A mother is making what her daughter will be
See a man through the eyes that her mother would see
And a boy will turn out as his father would too
Doing to his lover seeing how his father would do

A girl who's becoming the woman she would
Is better from the good that her father did
And a man who can feel what his mother would feel
Will hold his love closer than all other people

But the heart of a daughter and heart of a son
Built on the love and the time of the two or the one
Can be broken by a deed or a word
And close to another in not being heard

Fathers and daughters mothers and sons
Where are we going? From where have we come?
Remembering all of the pain and the love
Through all the time we spent under the sun

So give to your daughters!
And give to your sons!
And show them the love that won't come undone
All the time that you spend with them under the sun
Then you'll see who you are

Reflecting

Reflecting in them

To Have and To Hold is not a biography, a lecture, or a historical reconstruction. It is an imagined world — one you step into to feel your way around an idea rather than to learn it.

The album takes place loosely in early-20th-century Cambridge, at the moment when Western thought was beginning to strain under its own certainty. Science had proved astonishingly powerful at breaking reality into parts, explaining mechanisms, and producing results — yet at the same time it was encountering problems it could no longer fully contain. Probability was replacing certainty. Events mattered as much as objects. Meaning no longer sat still.

Out of this tension emerged process philosophy: the idea that reality is not made of finished things, but of ongoing happenings — that love, time, marriage, and even truth itself are not states you reach, but activities you keep participating in.

The album imagines this moment through a human lens. A mathematician trying to complete a system of logic. A thinker insisting that nothing important is ever truly finished. Proofs accumulating. Years passing. A marriage understood first as a statement, then slowly revealed as a practice. Love appearing not as romance in the foreground, but as something quietly unfolding elsewhere — happening whether it is attended to or not.

Rather than explaining these ideas directly, the songs allow you to inhabit them. You hear bells ring. You feel evenings close in. You sense the weight of unfinished work and the relief of letting something continue without control. The philosophy is not taught; it is lived.

This is a soft documentary in sound — an audio quantum leap into a world. Its purpose is not accuracy, quotation, or instruction, but immersion. By the time the album ends, you may not be able to define process philosophy in a sentence — but you may feel why it arose, what problem it was answering, and why it still matters.

To Have and To Hold is an exploration of commitment not as possession, but as attention.
Of marriage not as a conclusion, but as renewal.
Of understanding not as something you arrive at — but something that keeps happening.

If you listen closely, nothing here ever quite resolves.
But something continues.
