Notes from Julia:

This has been a very intimate project. Though I do reflect on social issues and the state of the world some, there are songs here that touch on my most tender private self. I've included a song about my brother, who is autistic/schizophrenic, and another about failing in one of lifeâs most important relationships--pretty heavy stuff. But then on the other hand, I show my whacky side a lot in songs like âThe Way the World Worksâ, âRoundâ and âArt of the Sublimeâ--songs that are complicated in some respects and suggest a Loving Intelligence who smiles and cheers us on at our growing knowledge. Mixed in with all that-- Iâve sprinkled in songs about hope and trying again and seeing beyond the day to day obvious existence.

I wanted to say it in a fresh and unexpected way. Tell me what you think.
