Adam thinks we wrote this in 2019, but Julia says it wasn't until early 2020. Either way, we agree it was written about 100 years ago (remember the good ol' days? Early 2020? So calm and relaxing... maybe 2021 can be like that!). This melody is beautiful, without a doubt, and we added a harmony that we felt honored the purity and simplicity of the melody, and still brought out all the right moments. The music has resonated over the decades (written in 1848) because it compliments the words so well, and we thought it was the perfect time to share our version with you guys! With all the chaotic stuff going on, it's important to remember how much we have to be thankful for!

'Tis the gift to be simple
'Tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down
Where we ought to be
And when we find ourselves
In the place just right
'Twill be in the valley
Of love and delight

When true simplicity is gained
To bow and to bend
We shall not be ashamed
To turn, turn
Will be our delight
'Till by turning, turning
We come round right
