    Story Behind the Song
    "News" was written at a low point in my life. The song constitutes the beginning of the trancendence of that time. It was written and recorded on the Suwanee River, near the town of the same name.

    Lyrics
    It's a brand new tune I'm humming
    but I'm sure I'll come around
    when I talk my way on board that train
    where the burden's are laid down
    and the towns blow by like fodder
    till I'm staring at the sea
    where every boat that can still float
    sails away from history

    Hey, that'll be news
    Hey, that'll be news

    News to me when trumpets blow
    News to me when the time is right
    News to know what the heavens know
    in the usual way, on a starry night . . .
