Day 71: March 12: Enough to be on Your Way
"It's enough to cover ground."
This one is beautiful. A story of James saying goodbye to an old friend named Alice (in this video oddly played by Barbara Hershey) who has passed on. The real meaning, though, is James singing about his late brother Alex, the dad of sweet baby James, and the oldest of the Taylor boys. He changed Alex to Alice and vaguely hid his intentions. As he searches for answers, he concludes that the journey is important, even if the end result isn't what you'd hoped. It's also interesting to me that he filmed a video for a song that contains an f-bomb (which means it's not likely to get much broadcast play). One of the best on the Hourglass album.
Here's big brother Alex with a track from his Friends and Neighbors album. I think he's wrong, but James has said he's the best singer of the Taylor siblings.
