the five songs on 'everything in winter' are part of a larger group that i've been working on, all inspired at least in part by a suitcase full of letters i came across last year. the letters were from my grandfather to my grandmother and they'd been sitting untouched for 70 years or so. he wrote them in the late 1940s while my grandmother was quarantined in a hospital for the consumptive poor. he was 16 and for two years he poured all his love and frustration and hope for the future into those letters. by reading and transcribing them, i've learned so much about who he was and what he believed in. it's kind of taken over my songwriting imagination and i think it's fair to say that, even though each of these new songs is mostly set in the present and each is about many things, the ideas in his letters are what unifies them.
