    Heather printed these covers herself on a foot-powered 1901 Pearl letterpress in Maine. With an antique engraving image of an armillary sphere printed in silver ink, overlaid with hand-set type in black ink on kraft paperboard, each of these CDs is a unique work of art. The 12-page lyrics booklet is printed on cream uncoated paper and opens from inside like a book. And each CD was printed and assembled and shipped by Heather.

    This comes direct from the artist, packed lovingly with a friendly note and, if desired, the CD can be signed custom to you. Makes a nifty and impressive gift!

lyrics

Love in the Multiverse
I am capable of patience but I don’t waste time on it / Cause if all space and time is happening this moment, I’d admit / That I’m already leaving, or I’ve already left, or I’m already home again // CHORUS: The future you is having dinner somewhere with the future me / And we laugh about the suckers who say things are meant to be / There was a multitude of outcomes and there always had been / I had always loved you somewhere or somewhen // The versions where I never met you, sometimes I wonder about those / If that outcome makes you happier than this one, I suppose / Or if I’d left at any other point in our timeline / Would you be my phantom limb, with memories that are not mine // CHORUS // What happens from here, which version we’re in I can’t say / But this is not the ending where I decide to stay / Cause my future self is sending a message back to me / Her happiness depending on me to leave // Maybe I come back and find you, maybe we love for many years // Maybe you meet another woman and I’m left alone in tears / Each hypothetical story is good as any that I know / And the only path to take is to bravely go // There were a multitude of outcomes and there always had been / I had always loved you somewhere or somewhen // I am capable of patience but I don’t waste time on it / Cause if all space and time is happening this moment, I’d admit / That I’m already leaving, or I’ve already left, or I’m already home again
