lyrics

Do you hear the silence
As it echoes ‘round our living room
With open ears
And a quiet hope

Do you hear the quiet
As it falls down with this dusk
Through the eldest trees
That are in the woods

What did they hear before me?
What did they hear before you?
Before our quiet love?

Do you hear my heartbeat
As it reaches from my chest
It is with me now
And until I rest

Do you hear the chorus
Lush and loud at dawn and dusk
Where the crickets sing
And the birds they fight

What did they hear before me?
What did they hear before you?
Before our quiet love?

Can you hear my words now
As true as I can speak them
To a town called home
To my mom and dad

What did they hear before me?
What did they hear before you?
Before our quiet love?

Katie McNally manages to play so clean & groovy at the same time, and the whole trio together has such a warm and cohesive sound. Makes me miss cozy trad sessions in friends' basements. A romp of an album. andpersand

I've had a mad crush on Natalie Haas's music from the moment I first heard it. To hear both sisters playing together - well, it's a no brainer! If you enjoy folk cello, for want of a better term, just buy this. You won't reget it :-) Joseph Karl
