"Fall"
"I wrote this with two people in mind, in celebration of a special first anniversary. Remembering how they learned to be comfortable in the dark and, with time, they overcame their fear of saying what they really feel in their hearts." - k.t.

"Bright Chair"
"This song was originally a good-bye gift to an important friend in my life. The title refers to his term for the area of the stage illuminated by the spotlight. Mary Gaines' wonderful cello work adds a majestic atmosphere and dimension." - k.t.

"Make You Stare"
"A song for my "beautiful girlfriends" - they are smart, articulate, and fun - especially when we go out dancing. Randy Sabien's festive fiddle work dances with a life all its own." - k.t.

Additional sound samples can be heard at CD Baby, Twin Cities Music Network, and Harmony Ridge Music.
