This is a beautiful song that Corin wrote when her son, Marshall, was born premature. Once you know that, the meaning is pretty straightforward, but even so, the words and phrases are just so wonderful. "It's the grammar of skin / Peel it back, let me in." Anyone could write a song about her child, but how many could do it so graciously and at the same time with such depth and intensity?
