Joshua Tell and the nature of things on "For the Tree Buds"

"but greeness brings a kind of grief..."

Joshua Tell's folk pained "For the Tree Buds" feels anchored in almost classical, even medieval tones, and there are mentions of castles and such but there are tonal shifts to 60's and 70's folk tone (Gordon Lightfoot, Simon and Garfunkel) as well. This classic and classical nature works as a wonderful standing counterpoint to things given birth and things dying. Listen and think about our current social upheavals and political discourse (us at each other's throats) and this short treatise on the nature of change might give you a poise for thought and, maybe, even hope.
