Joseph:
We got together in a friend’s giant wedding venue barn in central North Carolina to workshop these songs. With a loud and echoey tin roof, the barn’s sonic limitations sort of dictated the process. We couldn’t get too loud or we’d drown each other out. Every afternoon we’d have to quit during a spring storm, and at night the crickets and cicadas got loud right outside. I’ve lived in North Carolina all my life, but only over the last couple years have I been learning the names of all the trees, generally trying to get better at really noticing my habitat. Sandro Perri (producer) found the sound of summer cicadas in Asheville fascinating --he pulled out his cell phone to record a sound I usually barely register as background. A good reminder.
“Never Knew You Were Gone” is about a kid escaping violence and distraction at home into the natural world outside. His parents never knew he was gone, but he finds a hog-nosed snake and a cicada on a sycamore and looks at the stars. Feels like where he needs to be. In the last verse it’s winter and the woods are bare and silent--everyone is either at home inside or else humans are all extinct, could go either way. It’s not sad, just empty. Is nature beautiful (or even meaningful) if there’s no one to witness it? Will anyone or anything notice when we disappear? If a tree falls in the forest, etc.
Jacob:
This song is a classic Joseph tune. Simple scenes painted beautifully and relatable moments that encourage you to ask a bigger set of questions of yourself. Set to an intricate finger picking and a driving groove. It was my first favorite song Joseph brough to these writing sessions.
