Stars just observers
Of zinnias and moonflowers
We could bathe in the nullah of a gulf stream
Prowl like cats in the night
Then transform like moths
In a chrysalis of light
Chrysalis of light
Since the first song of an album often sets the theme, I asked Caroline if Walter Anderson is a major influence to her, above and beyond Tales of the Islander, to which she replied:

I based the Walter Anderson song on his cottage murals, which are four: sunrise, day, sunset and night. So those (other album) songs are companions."
Certainly this is evident in other songs, such as Abuelita, a languid song with a hauntingly beautiful melody, which is also a Spanish term of endearment for grandmother:
Abuelita underneath the trees
Of Costa Rica and her dark shored seas
