The first of these songs was made back when Cindy used to drive her son Arthur to school down a hill overlooking Penobscot Bay on the coast of Maine. It's a series of snapshots of the Bay, reflecting Cindy's deep love of islands and water, and her desire to be, someday, a rock. The song lived for years without an ending, until one day, after driving past Indian reservations in New Mexico and thinking about the similarities between the ocean and the open dry lands of the southwest, it found an ending all by itself: Little Girl.
