”Peace There” From The Album, Amphora
On the track “Peace There” Lily Taylor says:
I wanted to end the album, AMPHORA (Lily Taylor Music) with a message of peace. In any conflict, there is a choice to be made between addressing each detail and stepping back to look at the greater context. To commit to the attempt to find higher ground, to find what is best for humanity, and in turn one’s self, there must be a recognition of nuance within a larger story arch, that certain characters “won’t always play the part that was expected from the start, but into my arms you’ll find, peace there”. Some things are worth fighting for, however, a peaceful effort is historically the most inclusive. -Lily Taylor
Amphora takes its name from the Ancient Greek vessel, the amphora, which served as a container for precious liquids. In this case, Lily Taylor is the vessel, delivering a musical experience that is both powerful and delicate. The themes of duality, time, and introspection run throughout the album, creating a deeply personal and introspective atmosphere.
Recorded at Elmwood Recording in Oak Cliff, Amphora was produced by a dream team of talented producers, Black Taffy, Lily Taylor herself and Alex Bhore. The track-listing includes ten original songs, each one a masterpiece in its own right.
