about this song
Boston-based musicians John DeHaven and Randy Pingrey add horns to “For Emma”; surprisingly, their company doesn’t break the album’s spell of isolation, but rather strengthens it, as if they’re only his imaginary friends. The dialogue format that appears here is from the album’s liner notes. ____ "Emma isn't a person," Vernon told the audience. "Emma is a place that you get stuck in. Emma is pain that you can't erase."
