Every Grain of Sand
The vast, resting on small things
The song keeps moving between scales: a grain of sand and the whole of creation, a fall and a being-seen. The large questions are not proclaimed but shrunk to touchable things. The voice stays low, near a whisper, as if speaking louder might startle what it speaks of.
On a rough-edged record, this song puts away all edges and is the sharpest thing on it. Restraint here is not retreat: when language stops arguing, it starts bearing weight.
