I suppose I should have put this here sooner, but I was reminded this weekend how much this song touches people. So today is a good day to give you this to listen to. I wrote the song a while ago, didn’t write it with anyone particularly in mind but it seems to speak to the experience of many people. I’ ve been asked to sing it in some challenging circumstances. But when people ask you can’t say no, at least I can’t.
the song–>These Are the Times from the CD ‘The Long View’, 2006 (LV001)
Played in DADGAD tuning, it’s pretty straightforward musically. As I said in the liner notes, “When I’m singing it the question feels insistent, urgent. But every person who talks to me about it after seems to have a little bit of the answer in them.”
