Blinking Lights and Other Revelations' is a set about 'God and all the questions related to the subject of God', says its creator, E. A homemade epic, it's an imaginative, emotional reflection on the condition of living, recorded mostly in Everett's Los Angeles basement over a period of several years. The album features songs about faith, responsibility, growing up, dignity, disappointment, comfort, hope and renewal. Echoes of Everett's Virginia youth are heard during a fever-dreamed summer night's picnic inside the Civil War-era graveyard near his family's house ('In the Yard, Behind the Church'), while the engineer of a dying travel industry laments the long gone Washington and Old Dominion Railroad that once ran nearby ('Railroad Man').
