After reading the novel, Irene Kelley was deeply affected by those who chose to end their lives via drowning. “Laurel Creek” reflects on how grief can be so overwhelming you just want to be set free from it. Near the end of the song, the line “Southern voices sing you are finally free”, calls out to all the work songs echoed in the fields throughout the novel.
