about

A song about being around too many people who have the sad habit of gossiping and about being someone who is talked about, sometimes even as if you're not right there. Everyone has opinions throughout life on what other people should be doing. I just wanted to be doing what I needed to be doing, and was not looking for advice or opinions. And after that recurring theme throughout life, I thought I'd write about it.
I took inspiration from Joni Mitchell and the great story-tellers and folk artists of the 1960s and 70s on this one. It was recorded live and I was joined later by Christine Cyr on cello.
Something about the softness of the song reminded me of an old picture of my mother standing in her winter coat in the late fall and we recreated that photo to celebrate this piece.

lyrics

They say I’ve loved too many men, well what do I know
They say I should know the seasons change, well wouldn’t I go
And if you were to come back down they say it would snow
But they say so many things
And when the snow came down upon face then I turned around in this empty place
And it was then and there I realized to my dismay that they say too many things
I say, if loneliness is a cross to bear my patience makes it weight unfair
so I look to love
As in any tragic masterpiece
the pain is what delivers peace
so there’s pleasure in every cut
They say this choice is up to me but it’s not my own
They say I’m wrong and that I’ll see this web I wove
Met with silence I agree and my faith is thrown
because they say so many things
It’s true that challenge has a price and for that I’ll pay
It seems complication my only vice any given day
But for curiosity if I could stay away
They wouldn’t say so many things
I say, maybe trouble watches over me and all the things I do not see
but at least it cares
And misfortune comes and goes, you see, but when she’s tired and needs room to breathe
Then that’s when I’ll find relief
He says these tears they make me weak how would he know
He’s never cried he’s never seen how deep we go
For when we’re strong is when we feel and the feelings show
How dare he say anything
They say you have the face of angel child and so you’ll be alone at least for a while
They say it to be cruel not kind, and jealousy idles
I know their game and so I sing
If hope is the worst drug of all let addiction find me where I fall and I will not fight
If sensitivity is my enemy then I surrender on both knees and I wear my heart on my sleeve
They say I love too openly well what do they know
They say I’m young and wild and free then let it be so
I say I see more of life than they’ll ever know
So let them say anything
