about

Alone (1:21)

vocal, bowed device, floor tom, cymbal

“Alone” almost didn’t get put on, being the only piece with words. I thought it might break up the flow. But it ended up working really well at the beginning, with the bowed device it kinds of sets things up for “Looking for Paradise”. I thought its presence might irritate people but I’ve actually had complaints that there wasn’t more poetry! No one’s said “What the hell did you do that for?”, which is kind of what I was expecting.

The choice of this poem to start the album was a given, once the piece was recorded. I think it's just right to set up the music that follows. This has always been my favorite of Poe's poems, it has a lot of meaning for me.
