Album Notes
Much has changed for Alice Peacock since 2009’s Love Remains. She’s had three kids, moved to Cincinnati — and gotten 10 years older. “Feel the weight of the world on my shoulders/ Am I wiser or am I just older?” she sings on “Dry Spell,” from her new collection, Minnesota. The record suggests that despite her “wondering what all is yet to be,” she has indeed attained a measure of wisdom.
She uses the word “midlife” but does not follow it by “crisis.” She views her current outlook more as an awareness of life’s fragility and an appreciation of its sweetness. “Being a parent, I don’t know that I could love any more than I do right now,” she says, “so I’ve also never been more vulnerable. I have everything to lose.”
On Minnesota Peacock explores an understanding of love, in particular, that transcends hearts and flowers, Sturm und Drang. “Resting in the Quiet” acknowledges “a glimpse of the divine” in unspoken eloquence: “We don’t have to talk about it/ We don’t have to say a word/ We can wrap ourselves in silence/ Cause I’ve already heard/ Everything your eyes are saying.”
A departure from romantic love, “Free and Wild” is a lullaby sung from the viewpoint of someone “with a love so fierce” it hurts. Peacock likens parenthood to “going through life with your heart outside your body.” The album’s title track is a love song to her home state. “As soon as I get back to Minnesota and hear the birds and smell the air,” she says, “I feel, ‘This is mine; this is me.’” In the song she recalls sitting in “sacred silence,” watching “the electric light show playing wide across the sky.”
The song “Minnesota” was written in 2018, but some of the album Minnesota was written in 2015, the year third annual Real Women Real Songs challenge – which meant writing 52 songs in 52 weeks. Among them were Now that she’s done having babies, she intends to return to the studio at regular intervals. “When all the focus was on me, on my music, I’d think, ‘I’m looking forward to putting the focus on something else; I’m really tired of thinking about myself.’ These days, as much as it possibly can be, the focus is back on my work.”
Which also means she’s back on the road, savoring the blessed, evanescent connection with fans she and they can only experience live.
“Things feel especially precious to me at this time in my life,” Peacock confides. “You reach an age where you begin to lose people. The beautiful moments we have, like being out in nature up in Minnesota – ‘the moon waxing over the water, the loon calling to her lover’ – I keep telling myself, ‘Take it in because this is it.’”
