Magnolia from Turn Eternal by John Ralston
Recorded in Glade Spring, Virginia. I remember the huge magnolia flowers in the breeze outside and how they'd smell when we brought them inside. And my wife, so beautiful, pregnant with Tess. This is a song about perspective.

Lyrics
Scent of Magnolias, the mockingbirds low
Cherry sits weeping, in the garden it grows
Scent of Magnolia, the lightning bugs glow
Clouds covered heaven in part, revealing these stars
And Life don't seem so hard
Mountains surround as she's starting to show
Brand new part of my heart starts to grow
I was a daysleeper, I never did know how to make dreams in the dark
And now here you are
And suddenly life don't seem so hard
Here you are
