about

Shortly after laying down “String Band March,” I realized that a desert is like a sea: a seemingly endless ocean of sand. Oases, islands, sandstorms, hurricanes, and the image became clear to me of fire combatted by water. This track is dedicated to all those brave people who risk their lives daily to combat both the forest fires that are part of a natural cycle, and the ones started by human folly and stupidity. I stayed with a former firefighter, Tom, for two summers in Bellingham, WA, and he told me of the sheer excitement and terror of being on this job. My cousin, Adin, not even 20, has seen more in his short years than I will in my whole life. I see you all, I send my love, and as it is said in Italian, “ce la faremo,” or, roughly, “we will carry on.”
