Discover the story of the song > Letter of Note – oxbow

The song talks about how artists don't make art just for money, but because they love to create. The Duke laughs because he cares more about the stories the songs tell than the money that comes with them. Love is an important theme in the songs, but it's really just a small part of what they're about. The shadow in the songs represents existence, and while God might be smiling on the artists, it's not really love that motivates them.
