A House in Nebraska

The aching centre of gravity, and the song the whole mythology keeps returning to. A love song addressed to a person and a place that no longer exist, it turns memory into geography: an empty house, a field, a name she can’t stop saying.

It is grief held at the exact temperature where longing and acceptance meet. The prequel, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You, grows outward from this one track. The first love it mourns is the story that record later tells in full.
