Comment:

Title from the World/Inferno track. (Though it could easily be subtitled - An Irish girl has an abiding sense of tragedy which sustains her through temporary periods of joy.)

It is November. I am drinking wine; the wind is rattling the bones of my house. My heart is a ghost town.

By the way, it's me, Reverend Jess Duggan. Don't be confused by the new name. I change personas frequently. This seems to be this year's version of this mix that I made two years ago.
