tic tic tic begins in the ashes of 2019—a roaring ‘20s New Year’s Eve party gives way to a pandemic, an insurrection, war after war, the possibility of tyranny and the mounting climate crisis. Along the way, the steady change of seasons and tick of time elevate the tension between the urgency of the moment and history’s expanse, between an individual’s response and the inevitable legacy of collective generations. tic tic tic is a clear-eyed lyric take on the chaos of our times, yet an affirmation of the human spirit. A life is lived, a new generation created, faith smolders, love and hope persist.
