Ultra-mellow and sparse folk/country with male vocals. The simplicity and mellowness of this album comes together for some beautiful songs, but at times the formula goes too far, and the songs get dull and easy to tune-out. All tracks are slow unless noted, with musical influences noted in track descriptions.

1. *banjo/metallic guitar strumming, melancholy, sparse piano, strange percussion, dark subject matter,
2. intriguing hyper guitar solo over calm song, electric guitar works over delicate acoustic picking
3. **Quiet guitar-only start builds to cascading organ and what, break, flood of sound with backing vocals and thunderous drumming, repeated title of song, unfortunately brief, but glorious: "her eyes were less like night than morning"
4. drums lead, repeated guitar sounds in background
5. *Country, melancholy/yearning/beautiful vocal, reserved/contained pain
6. *folky, lamenting/drawling slide guitar, country serenade/woeful
7. * vocal harmony/70s folk-rock, lonely harmonica, achey/angsty guitar solo at 4:15-end
8. airy, ethereal, distant-sounding guitars and effects in background, "too late have I loved thee" repeated many times
9. country plus feel of Grateful Dead at their folkiest in harmonized chorus, 10 sec of silence at end of track
10. guitar picking and voice only
11. harmonica, boring, picks up slightly near end
12 relaxing, folky tune, background trombone
