This song stems from a time I was sitting in Joshua Tree reading a story from the
Desert Oracle about a society of skywatchers. The story described the desert
landscape as “weathered and twisted,” and I was immediately moved by the
power of this phrase as a descriptor for us, as humans, as well. I wanted to
create a song that embodied the liberating and calm intensity of realizing we can
be weathered and twisted, beautiful yet haunted, as we continue to skywatch
through waves of our lives.
