There we were in the middle of making this record and a totalsolar eclipse darkened Nashville on my birthday. My 29th year.A golden hour in my young-adult life. There are certain juncturesthat you can’t think your way through - you just have to feel.I found myself at one making this album. It was like the Universe was majestically saying“this is a time to be present, to witness the beautyof this incredible world you are lucky to be alive in” despite it being more complicated than ever and filled with so much darkness. We all need a little light right now. We all need forcompassion and art to flourish. We need to remember that when moving forward feels impossible, somehow new love still finds its way up through the cracks in the sidewalk.The sun still rises and the birds still sing.Inspiration finds its way to you again. There are different masks we all wear that represent differentsides of ourselves. None of them are solely us and yet they all are. There’s the lonely girl - the blissful girl - the new wife - the daughtermissing her mother - the hopeful girl - the selfish girl - the sarcastic, rhinestoned Texan - the shy girl and the life of the party - the winner and the loser.

They are all characters on this record.None of them alone are me and yet they all are.The golden hour is when all the masks come together as oneand you can see, in perfect light, the whole picture of me.
