He sits at his desk every night
And he burns the candle from both sides
He spends every day, filling the pages
With the mistakes that he's made
Writing letters to the dead
Letters that never get read
He writes of how he's learned from the past
And he's got so many questions to ask them
They could start again, he'd make up for all his sins
If he only knew where to begin
Writing letters to the dead
Letters that never get read
Every night I can see
All the loves I've burned away
They never answer me, try as I might
But I'll always write
These letters to the dead
Letters that never get read

Stephen played the cement floor.
Jaron played the diminished 11ths. Maybe.
Thematic, majestic and beautiful. A whole series of albums from Rogue Valley concern themselves with love, nostalgia, and the landscape of America. Currently one of my favourite things these days. Jaron Eldon
