Henning's new solo album is a dreamy journey into life over the past few years. Disillusionment in the way the world works and with those around us leading to questions about what is important, what is worth keeping, how do we live? A celebration of the natural world, the consistency of the seasons, those moments and people that we hold dear. This is wandering music, three instrumental dreams anchor the rest of the songs which float atop howling and sliding lap steel guitar. The songs are their own people but the album is the family. Meet one at a time or dive into all of them at once. It's not a movie, but it's almost a movie. There's an arc. A beginning and an end. We start off questioning where we are going and we end up where we started. At home.

lyrics

In the middle of a hurricane
They stop and turned
And asked us questions
What’s the reason for these things you keep?
And why are you trying to save them?
And they didn’t lend a hand

We were fired into outer space
In a capsule aimed at a planet
To try to learn if we could stand the place
If there’s a language could we understand it

But we’ll miss the breeze
Watching the mercury climb
We’ll miss the trees waving leaves in the summertime

We’ll even miss the snow
Watching the heater glow
Hearing songs that we know on the radio
Hearing songs that we know on the radio

They had said we be the first ones to find out what it’s like
But we landed in the wreckage of a thousand former flights
We had bought into the story and we’re sorry that we did

But we’ll miss the breeze
Watching the mercury climb
We’ll miss the trees waving leaves in the summertime

We’ll even miss the snow
Watching the heater glow
Hearing songs that we know on the radio
Hearing songs that we know on the radio
Hearing songs that we know on the radio
