about

Song was written in the early 90's, and has been performed A LOT since its birth. It is very home-like for me. Tom Catmull recorded it on his record, The Sound of A Car, back in 1999 or 2000. I still open with this song pretty regularly, and thought it was time to throw a version on a record of my own.

lyrics

Katie was a wide-eyed traveler, she never missed anything.
She'd listen in the valleys, was a part of what was happening.
Separated from her power (whatever that may be)
Katie kept right on walking, until she was redeemed.

My buddy just took it easy, down into a world he fell.
Tumbling, stumbling, falling - poison in his well.
Somehow he drank that potion. He stood and played that scene.
Did it every day for decades, until he was redeemed.

Chorus:
Cycle of redemption
Cycle of relief
All the way from trouble
Back to breathing free
Keep on moving forward
It's really round and round
Invest your sadness wisely
Make your dark days count

A woman sits dark and moody, under a broken sky.
Half a world is threatening thunder, the other half is blue and white.
I watch her slowly rise up, wondering what her movement means...
Then I see her lightning smile, and I know she's been redeemed.
