“The modal feel and surprising chord changes felt heartbreaking to me as I worked on lyric ideas. The story is based on a great novel by Denis Johnson, Train Dreams, about a prairie fire that devastates a homesteader family and the recovery and madness of the farmer who returned home to find his house, wife, and child gone. He goes mad looking for them.” - Nell on "The Fire", performed at our Porch Concertwww.youtube.com/watch?v=l-a2qGz3gWU
