This is an old dude's attempt to channel/manage his life into music. The overarching theme is the ancient one of human experience, the reality of death and pain and our ability to survive knowing that this is the reality. One well-established route is to embace religion but, in my case, I don't follow that. If you don't follow religion, what is left for you when you have to contront the painful, desolate truth of our existence? I don't know the answer, but these songs are part of my exploration of the question.      

Adamantine

Hutton's discoveries changed the known age of the Earth from a few thousand years to hundreds of millions of years. This song is about how dizzying that timespan is. It also explores why something objectively unchanging feels so different now from when I was young. Hutton's Section is found on the Crags just outside the City of Edinburgh
