Vol. 11

I Am a Stone Flower, Stone Flower — the speaker identifying with the stone flower, something that blooms in the most inhospitable conditions. Resilience figured through the natural world.

You, Like a Meadow Full of Flowers — the beloved compared to an entire flowering field: not one rose but a whole landscape in bloom. One of the most-searched songs in his catalog, a melody that generations learned before they learned where it came from.

Whether blame comes from the world or remorse from within, the speaker has endured it all from one beloved — cataloguing broken covenants and suffering borne in silence.
