This album is about something we all have in common; this beautiful planet Earth that we all call home.
Ben Folds brought new friends to the project, the wonderful composer and orchestrator Jherek Bischoff and bluegrass violin virtuoso and composer Gabe Witcher. They wrote original underscoring for our lyrics to create these new orchestral works.
