Just as Evermore is a sister album to Folklore, this is a sister song to “Epiphany,” the stark ballad of her grandfather Dean and his World War II combat experience on Guadalcanal. (Like “Epiphany,” “Marjorie” is placed at track thirteen.) Dean was her father’s father, Finlay her mother’s mother, but they’re immortalized in songs about living with the dead as you grow older and feeling their spirit in your bones.
