I Had Known That People Would Probably

It Broke My Heart When I Learned The Moon Had Been Passing The Sun’s Light Off As Its Own.

Families Of Privilege And Money Would Have Harps In Their Parlors, And Their Cultured Daughters Would Learn To Play. It's Got Such A Strange History. But That Wasn't The Context That I Learned It In, So The Inherent Friction Between That History And The More Humanist Folk-y History Wasn't In My Conscience At All.

I Definitely Don't Subscribe To The Theory That More Instruments, Or More Vocal Tracks, Harmony, Or Double Tracking The Voice, Is A Good Thing. People Do Their Early Albums Very Stripped Down, Then Each Album Becomes Bloated.

I Didn't Sing For Years And Years, But I Started Playing Harp When I Was Maybe 9 Or 10. I Had Actually Wanted To Play For Years Leading Up To That, But No Teacher In Our Little Town Would Take Me On As A Student, Because I Was Too Young.

I Wasn't Interested In Writing Music That Wasn't Beautiful For Me To Listen To.
