On June 2, 2013, acclaimed singer/songwriter Ron Morsberger succumbed to the brain cancer with which he been living for almost two years. When he died, we lost a brilliant composer and musician, but his light shines on through his music, continuing to brighten the corners where we are and shining brilliant rays to light our paths. When he was diagnosed with this terminal brain cancer in September 2011, he immersed himself in music and life, releasing three albums: A Part of You, a song cycle for his sons; Midnight Garden, a collaborative effort with Brad Roberts of Crash Test Dummies; Early Work, a double CD of material he recorded in the 1980s and 1990s with artists ranging from Patti Smith, Marshall Crenshaw, Loudon Wainwright III, and Suzzy Roche. His work can also be found on the new Willie Nile album, American Ride.

Morsberger also played piano, accordion, organ, arranged strings and other odds and ends on Fairytale and Myth, Suzzy Roche and Lucy Wainwright Roches ethereal and hauntingly beautiful new album. Suzzy Roche was devastated to learn of Morsbergers diagnosis and wanted to work with him again to make an album that would be a tribute to his beautiful musical gifts. In the face of his diagnosis, Rob threw himself into living and focusing on the true meaning of life, as well as making music. We made the record in the dead of winter huddled in the studio in our winter coats, says Roche, recalling the warmth and intimacy of the hours she and her daughter, Lucy, spent with Morsberger recording this album.

The songs on Fairytale and Myth range from a cover of McCartney and Lennons For No One and Loudon Wainwright IIIs When Im at Your House, a song that Suzzy, Lucy, and Loudon have been performing live for years, to a tale of the reality that pervades life through the cracks of a broken dream or an unrealistic take on the worldMark Johnsons When a Heart Breaksto the albums title track, Morsbergers transcendent tale of the power of love and our longing for it. Because of the transformative and evocative power of the harmonies of Suzzy and Lucy Wainwright Roche, and Morsbergers moving piano playing, this album poignantly captures the ragged ways that we all move between fantasy and reality.

Fairytale and Mythmaybe the most beautiful song on an album full of beautiful songsopens with spare and mournful piano in a lullaby that, in part, retells the myth of Ariadne as a bedtime story about the longing all of us have for love. Although the song begins in the realm of fairytaleOnce upon a time in days of fairytale and myth/there lived an ugly creature in a crooked labyrinth/all the priests and scientists gave the king advice/an angry god was calling for a human sacrifice/it soon moves to the reality that underlies all of our long-held myths about loveeveryone, everyone wants to be loved/our longing for love gets twisted and dark/you get lost in the maze that leads to your heart/you cant find your way back from the depths of your soul/til the longing within you gets out of control. In the end, you close your eyes and go to sleep/dont be afraid to dream/the things that scare you half to death arent always what they seem/say a prayer for anyone who needs some love tonight/give me one more kiss before I turn out the light. Our fairytales and myths about the nature of love can be scary and disturbing, but they also do show us that the love for which we ache requires sacrifice.

The albums final song, When a Heart Breaks Downwhich has musical echoes of REO Speedwagons Without Expression (Dont Be the Man)opens with a jangling, jaunty piano that warms into a lilting ballad about the shortcomings of reason and passion when it comes to matters of love. The man of reason/sometimes he fails/to see the problems down inside him/he looks outside so all his feelings are denied/its always lose instead of win with himthe man of passion/sometimes he falls/into the arms of desolation/or else he feels hes on the train to paradise/while hes just sittin in the station. Everybodys looking somewhere else when love is right there, close to her or him: when your heart breaks down /you cant do nothing/ the world is dark/ you need some loving/ somebody so kind/ someone who loves you/ return that love with a new found heart.

I spent some of the warmest hours of my life making this album, Suzzy Roche says, and it was one of the most magical musical moments of my life. When you drop this CD on your player, the beauty and magic and power of Morsbergers piano and the Roches sweet, exquisite harmonies will enchant and transport you. Youll mourn the loss of Morsberger, but youll celebrate the life, love, passion, energy, and warmth of his music.
