Cover art for Only In The Past lyrics by Be Good Tanyas, The

adore this song. "eventually you just let the stone fall"--i think that's the "warm, black stone" from "ship out on the sea," which symbolizes love. i think you have to let your love go when the words dry up. and you have to reach a certain point inside before you can do that. this song reflects such optimism while embracing the sadness--"we laugh and we cry"--that accompanies such a turning point.

@jeisenbe Really cool connection to Ship Out On the Sea! I never would have thought of that.
