And with little opportunity to play concerts to mark its release, Carina admits she considered delaying its official arrival into the world.
“But I thought I wanted to release it, that it would be nice to get it out because I am obviously not doing my other usual things this year. It is good to have something creative to focus on. People need music in their lives to listen to more than ever right now.”

Poignantly, the album’s final track is Carolan Farewell To Music: “It’s a really sad, solemn piece. We were playing this and had no idea that we would not be playing any live music for another how many months.”
