I'm having that difficult I-know-these-songs-in-different-forms-so-why-are-they-different-here? adjustment problem. It's odd how strong a memory of a song can be; it's been years since she played them live. I adore the songs. There are a few arrangements that are a bit '60s folk or with plinkity-plonk marimba or something, rather than the swaying urgency of my memory versions! "The Hidden Word" is one of my favorite bits of music ever with its mystical and image-full lyrics and early music feel. The recording of "Fathering Son" is perfect and the song is so majestic, it isn't a historical piece or cutesy folk reimagining of pagan worship but instead very immediate. I think there was a Garden song or two that I loved that might not be on here. And then there are songs I don't know or know less well, but I'm currently (unjustly) ignoring them because I'm so happy to hear old friends. I need to embrace the album as-is rather than all the possible albums I was imagining over the years. Looking forward to the CD, the artwork is perfect.
