Cover art for Rise lyrics by Peter Mulvey

Beautiful haunting story. One of my favorite songs of the genre. The words suggest love lost to a terrorist bombing of a domestic place. Peter has said that Kitchen Radio (the album) was based on his own experiences, but I certainly hope this one is not a literally true story.

For myself, I lost my wife to cancer a few years ago. Not a bomb, but no less devastating. Images burned in my head that I will never forget. And memories, little things, that make me smile when I see them, because I remember she would have liked them.

My Opinion
