Delicate, soft…but hard hitting. Malin Petterson’s voice drifts elegantly over slow picked guitar. Beauty and light emanate out…dig it for yourself.

What About It: “This song was very inspired by a documentary I saw about a man who had been married to his wife for decades, then he became ill with dementia and was mentally stuck in a year where he only knew who she was but hadn’t started dating her yet. It got me to thinking about how fragile all of this is – even the strongest bonds.
Also I feel that we generalize older people a little bit too much in society. They are as diverse as we all are and we will all be them soon.”
