NEW SINGLE: A.M. Hours

This single is downtempo, a change of pace, from the others. From Rudy:

“A.M. Hours”, written by Hank Roberts, for me really captures the recovery and regathering that would come through the A.M, hours. I would get to bed around 1am (probably later), reeling a bit from the day’s scattered emotions, the lingering numbness and disorientation, but after some prayer and meditation, the A.M. Hours were a time of healing.

“[Royston is] a fine writer.” – Stephen Graham, Marlbank
