Hannah says:
I so enjoyed this collaboration with my friend Drew! He shared this beautiful lyric with me, which I then set to music (originally with just voice and electronic piano and like 2 extra BGVs) and sent his way for feedback. He had the genius idea to turn the last minute and a half of the song into the glorious explosion of sound that it is now, adding multiple vocal, guitar, bass, and electronic drum tracks along the way!
Drew says:
I had no idea a little song inspired by gardening could become something so epic. It is a delight to hear what Hannah comes up with for my lyrics. This might be the best song I've been a part of creating.
The lyrics are about self-doubt and questions of worthiness in the face of mounting obstacles and challenges.
A stark line divides the sky
Between dark and clear
Is the thunder departing
Or is it almost here?
This soil is spent
There is no sun to be found
Clouds tease rain unsent
Choking weeds compound
Ain’t the right earth
See, it’s barren
Ain’t nothing grow’n’
Save your carin’
For the right ground

This is epic. The lyric takes on such deep meaning when framed on Hannah's arrangement and glorious vocals. The build was great, though I wish it had gotten even bigger! I would have stuck around for at least another minute as the drums amped up further, tom fills, cymbal crashes, the works. It was just so enchanting that I didn't want it to end.
Superb, all around.

Im already on listen 3 - the first just stopped me in my tracks. the second i listened harder to take in the simplicity and atmospheric use of space and clever instrumentation. this time I am just smiling as I type. complicated is over rated. perfection can come from space in a really well arranged track, and beautiful lyrics and delivery. when the drums drop it leaps from awesome to EPIC in its build

OH my guys this is so so moving. Hannah your vocals have taken me to a place of meditative bliss and wonder and that subtle but so well layered instrumentation is perfect. Oooo i got so much to do but could sit and float away with this for hours. Simply gorgeous and diving in for second listen. Thanks guys

Oh this is glorious!! Love how much room and air you’ve put around Hannah’s sublime vocals, just sounds HUGE. And then that second half… my goodness, real War On Drugs feels. It just keeps getting bigger and bigger, love the ambition of it, and my word you totally pull it off. That lead guitar sounds magic, and the massive drum hits give it such an epic quality. Hats off to both of you!

I hope you two do something with this, and let me know once you do. This would definitely go on my easy listening list. I could here this song everyday!

This is wonderful. That explosion of sound towards the second half of this song is the perfect capstone. It starts beautifully with the gentle singing and delicate electric piano. Lyrics are thought provoking. Really like the guitar playing that comes in at 1:30. It sets a nice stage for what's to come. Great work!

Lovely lyrics that are brought to life so gorgeously! I love the gentle soaring vocals with the harmonies s
and the wonderful instrumental sections. I feel the warmth and the ground giving birth to growth and possibility. Really brilliant and beautiful with the uplifting, inspiring and meditative, almost prayerful, feel that was created. Powerful in the most amazing way!

Absolutely gorgeous. The soaring vocal parts are magnificent. Fantastic collab! This vibe reminds me a bit of Novo Amor. The build is amazing. I'm a sucker for a long build. Wonderful job, y'all!
@zecoop Feb 2022
Oh wow, this is so beautiful. I just let the whole thing soak in as I listened and loved the gradual build. I do a ton of gardening so it all resonated with me, from the lyric to the amazing soaring harmonies to the glorious music. Well done - what a collab!!
