From an Austin Chronicle review:
“Palo Santo takes its name from a type of tree found in the Galapagos, where Meiburg spent a summer doing field research on the caracara, the South American breed of falcon about which he wrote his recently completed master’s thesis in biogeography.”
Palo Santo Lyrics
The wind that lifts the leaves against the night
The reeds that bow and bend beneath its weight
The holy sap, its smoky light
I will not hide
The fish that swim inside the murky deep
The island shores that loom above the sea
The holy, holy melody
Will bring them all to me
And play again that melody
Hidden close to me
