“The music is rhapsodic; the songs seem to reach for a higher plane.” – Jesse Green, The New York Times

“The choruses of the songs have been pared down resulting in amazingly perfect, complex and beautiful strains, some of which have the romantic affect of classic standards from the likes of Gershwin, Porter and Berlin.” – PerformInk, Chicago

“The music Cale and Marsh weave into the story is profoundly moving.” – Windy City Times

“If you ever had any doubt about the healing and transformative powers of art, “We’re Only Alive for A Short Amount of Time” will set you straight.” – Hedy Weiss, WTTW, Chicago
