"Where words fail, music speaks” Hans Christian Andersen. I imagine you may be able to reach back in your memory rather quickly and find a moment in your life where these words prove true. I know I can. For the last few weeks, the music of Sleeping at Last’s Astronomy Vol. 1 has been inviting me to turn my vision up and offering moments of wonder when they were needed most. I sat down with Ryan O’Neal, Sleeping at Last, to talk music, wonder, and the power of looking to the heavens when the weight of the world is pressing in on us. I hope you will join us for the conversation to hear Ryan share some special moments you will find in Astronomy Vol. 1.
