From my favourite metaphysical musician of the times, Eric Earley:
"Many in interviews and others seem to see the tale of Furr as a longing.
sentimental is what rolling stone may seem to say, for a return to nature, to the lost essence of the wild, a sentiment rooted in some desire to move backward, this is not the case in my view. truely at this juncture the wilderness is where God dwells, there is magic and beauty in it to be distilled and cherished as a remote echo of past and future. As the fuels of civilization run dry the next generations raised without the security of science, those children will once again fear the wild, the wilderness will no longer hold white magic and escape but only darkness and sorcery. the shaman will be one who retains some memory of science mixed alchemically with the myths of the natural and spiritual spectrum. but for now we can only sing about that which has been lost or only seems lost but runs beneath every step somewhere deep and under cement casing and the piping of civilization."
