Harmonious World Podcast chats with Binnie Klein

Interview with Harmonious World Podcast

With a poignant animated lyric video to accompany the release, "Orchard" features David Baron's lush arrangement of strings (Alex Waterman), keys (Baron), and Tartie's emotional vocals. The song is an anthemic outcry about letting go, a theme that hits close to home during a time of global grieving. "Orchard" takes on an additional meaning as we face the devastation of climate change: The man who ravages the orchard thoughtlessly can stand in for our collective carelessness about our planet. But Klein's words remain hopeful and propel us forward, challenging us to not only heal but to evolve. "Orchard" is the first of a series of innovative collaborations between Binnie and a rotating mix of contributors. In These Trees invites you to participate in this alchemy of collaboration.

Orchard starts and finishes this week's episode of Harmonious World, as Hilary Robertson discusses the writing and recording of the track with writer and radio host Binnie Klein. Thanks to Binnie for allowing me to start and finish this episode with the single alongside our conversation.
