And she was just, like, super expressive. If you've ever seen Aby Wolf perform live, you know, her hands are in it, her body is in it, and her face is in it, she's just a voice made flesh. And, yeah, we kind of struck up a connection there at an open night put on by The Poetry, which was like a musical collective here many moons ago.

I can’t embed this because computers frighten me, but this is Dessa and Aby and Cameron and Ashley and Matthew busting out “Good Grief” in a dressing room with a string quartet, and you probably need to hear it. So follow the link.

This next song was inspired by a piece of music that my father, who was a classical musician, played me. He played me a recording of the "Chaconne in D Minor" by Bach. And I just thought, God… That's a particularly percussive piece in a lot of ways. The staccato notes reminded me of a really good rap verse. I was just blown away. And I was also just mesmerized by how hard you would have to practice to get that good because that comes at a cost, a personal expense. And often masters of craft are sort of journeymen of human relationships. So this is a song about that.
