Guiding Our Hearts Through The Passage Of Time
Nighttime “When the Wind is Blowing”
“When the Wind is Blowing” is a pastoral folk song first and foremost but the most interesting parts of the arrangement are when the musicians of Nighttime emulate the sound and feeling of wind. They’re not going for a stormy sort of wind but more like a stiff breeze passing through the night, something that lightly rustles up the trees and messes up your hair. Eva Louise Goodman’s voice sounds a bit dour but also fairly serene as she sings about the night landscape with low-key awe and humility. She looks around and sees life mid-cycle, noting her place in it, and opening herself up to where the winds of life may send her.
