about
This is the tale of a troubled soul who climbs a mountain to seek the sage advice of a wise old man. The only "story song" I've ever written.
lyrics
Simple folk can't understand the wise words of the frail old man
They disregard as nonsense
Still behind the cabin door, his voice tries to give them more
They dismiss him offhand
Summer breeze and winter snow he lives up on the hill
Keeping mostly to himself, sits by the window sill
Go look deep into his eyes and see the years gone by
Softly ask for truth and he'll reply...
William Isaac was the man who climbed the hill with heart in hand
To learn about his destiny, to find if love was meant to be
He rapped upon the cabin door, the old man asked of him what for
Will replied, "My soul is dead...I asked advice and my friends said,
'Summer breeze and winter snow he lives up on the hill
Keeping mostly to himself, sits by the window sill'."
Will looked in the old man's eyes and saw the years gone by
Softly asked for truth, old man replied
"Oh, son...I've much to tell you.
Oh, son...you've much to learn.
Life's fire burns.
Here, son....sit down beside me.
I've a secret for you before the sun returns."
Simple folk can't understand the wise words of the frail old man
Though earnest ones may find the sense...William Isaac rode off hence
Lived a happy, peaceful life: successful business and a wife
I can't tell what he old man said, but I can tell you this instead:
Summer breeze and winter snow he lives up on the hill
Keeping mostly to himself, sits by the window sill
Go look deep into his eyes and see the years gone by
Softly ask for truth and he'll reply...

Great voice, great songs, great band....what's not to like? Give it a try! (And, in the name of full disclosure, she's a friend....so that helps. ;)) Greedy Cherry
One of my favorite albums from the past couple of years! Such a lovely chill, relaxing vibe, and Emma's voice is so smooth and dreamy. You won't be disappointed! Greedy Cherry
Melodic and folksy, this is a wonderful set of intimate-sounding songs that make you feel like you're in a small honky tonk at closing time, or sitting around a campfire with musical friends. Greedy Cherry
