Belong Here from Wellspring by Tom Gershwin
Opener “Let Be” and the later “Belong Here” are both miniatures, brief lyrical respites that provide a breath of relief on the album as they did during the recording session. They were recorded at the end of the two-day session, which had gone remarkably smoothly despite the demands of the compositions and the intense concentration required to maintain the music’s rapturous atmosphere. “They’re palate cleansers,” Gershwin says of the companion pieces. “Something had been released in us during the recording, and these two songs represented the space we were feeling from having gone through that experience.”
