Different Now 

© Andrew Calhoun, recorded on Different Now.

Open your eyes, stand on your feet,
Same old world, same old street;
Same old body for praise and sign, 
The same is yours, the same is mine. 
Flow on asleep, flow on awake, 
Code of a riddle that none can break; 
Core of a story no tongue can sing— 
A secret raised on weary wings.
And God knows how, since God knows when, 
It's been what it is, been what it's been; 
But it's gonna be different now. 

If you could speak, if you could grieve, 
It's all that you can do to breathe; 
Each day a case of open shut,
And wake another day—to what?
I walk alone, you walk alone, 
As all the living walk alone; 
By morning light, all are made known, 
In falling shadow, all is one. 
And God knows how, since God knows when 
It's been what it is, been what it's been; 
But it's gonna be different now.

Different Now

A legacy recording of twenty original song-poems spanning 45 years; with guitar, bass, harmonica, violin and vocal harmonies. Six songs are recorded for the first time, while the rest of the early-and middle-period songs are significantly reworked. “Heavy Log” is an elegy for Chicago songwriting hero James McCandless, written in the wake of his death in 2013. “Renaissance Land” was inspired by Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. Howard Levy contributes harmonica parts to both of these; Tracy Grammer plays violin on "No Secret Castle" and "Grandfather's Time"; Eli Broxham adds bass to "The Bull," "Deliver Me," "Heavy Log" and "Tunnel Vision"; Chris Vallillo contributes electric slide guitar to "Heavy Log." Casey Calhoun sings on "Deliver Me” and "The King,” with Sons of the Never Wrong harmony ace Sue Demel joining her on "Look Away.” Tracy Grammer designed the cover, an eco-wallet featuring art by Rosśa Crean.
