Turtle Dove and the Crow

Marlin wrote it. The recording is from 2013, before the name change, and every source places it there, so the Watchhouse label on the upload is a later re-upload. MAGNET says the song's acceptance of mortality was inspired by Marlin's brush with death after he fell off a dam, and that it borrows a line from Lightnin' Hopkins. Apple Music's editorial calls it one of the album's lighter moments with an easy glide, from a summary we could not open. A traditional song "The Turtle Dove" exists, but no source links Marlin's song to it.
