Katherine Balch - "Only The Song" from album "the labor of forgetting", performed by Lucy Fitz Gibbon, soprano, and Ryan MacEvoy McCullough, piano

This song comes from a thirteen song cycle, "estrangement," by composer Katherine Balch and poet Katie Ford. The cycle explores the aftermath of a relationship that has broken down, and the period of self-reflection that follows. In this song, the woman, having just reminisced on how easily she dismissed three previous loves, realizes that a song written by one of these lovers is not so easily forgotten.
