The lyrics to this song were written shortly after I gave birth to my son, Nicholas one Christmas day. I found it a life changing event both internally and externally. But it didn't become a song until I began working on my thesis project at Columbia. I had a melody that I brought to Ron and we began to collaborate on our first song together. That was really the birth of The Red Apples.

It is silent out there.
It is silent out there.
The shock of the new drifts down with the snow.

I am a source of nourishment now.
I am a source of nourishment now.
I hear the suckling even in my heart.

I tread a path scattered with relics of the past.
Clouds veil the future,
shrouds surround what went before.
That shadow screams its remorse;
I turn away happily.
(repeat)
