Notes

SONGS
Lyrics available at www.lizandtim.com

Brought On (Tim Marema, ©2011). In the Southern mountains, “brought on” sometimes refers to non-native people, especially someone brought on to perform specific community services like medicine or teaching. Tim’s parents were teachers in Jackson County, Kentucky, from 1962-1974.

Let the Mountains Roll (Tim Marema, ©2011). Can you have mountain music without mountains? Whether it’s from strip mining or unrestrained tourism development, there’s less of Appalachia than there used to be.

Green Water (Tim Marema and Liz McGeachy, ©2012). The Tennessee Valley Authority is a major economic, political, and environmental force in East Tennessee. We live in Norris, the town TVA built for the workers who constructed the authority’s first dam.

Down by the Riverside (Traditional). We’ve sung this song in church for years, with hope that we can lay down our hate and fear.

Chicory Road (Tim Marema and Liz McGeachy, ©2013). These humble, tough, and opportunistic flowers find a niche on the shoulders of two-lane roads.

Here So Long (Tim Marema, ©1985). Tim wrote this in his early 20s when he yearned to get to a bigger city. Today we live in a town of 1,300 residents.

Taillights (Tim Marema and Liz McGeachy, ©2013). For generations, young people have left rural areas for other opportunities and experiences. These days, many return with new skills and perspectives.

Blue State Woman (in a Red State World) (Liz McGeachy and Tim Marema, ©2014). You don’t have to be disagreeable to disagree.

Moving Slow (Tim Marema, ©2013). Sometimes the day’s responsibilities never seem to end.

Sweet Lorraine (Tim Marema, ©2013). An up-tempo number with a death metaphor and a good beat.

Rust and Rain (Tim Marema, ©2013). One more song about better times somewhere down the road.

Ten Thousand Miles (Traditional, additional lyrics by Tim Marema, ©2011). To the countless versions of this traditional song, we add one more.

Sing with Me (Tim Marema and Liz McGeachy, ©2013). We are grateful for our families, who put so much music in our lives, and for our children, who are carrying on the tradition.

Last Couple Dancing (Tim Marema and Liz McGeachy, ©2012). Tim wrote the first draft of this song for Liz’ birthday and sang it to her in front of our children, who were mortified. Liz liked it though.
