“Rungs of Love” by Jenny Gillespie Mason is a song that does not want you just to hear it, it wants you to feel it. This intimate folk offering from her forthcoming album In the "Safety of the Light," it opens like a gentle sunrise, a deeply personal return to songwriting after a period of stillness.
The song is built around the warm, woody resonance of a 1976 Martin guitar and moves toward spacious acoustic textures that are grounded but also a little otherworldly. Produced by Noah Georgeson, the soundscape is subtle and immersive and flows like passing thoughts, never overwhelming the song’s delicate core. There is a devotional aspect to the arrangement, a sense that each note is placed intentionally.
Mason’s voice is unguarded and luminous, and it has a quiet conviction. The song’s central idea, that human love can be a ladder to something higher, is unfolded with grace, never preaching, always searching. “Rungs of Love” finds Jenny Gillespie Mason in a space that is both rooted in tradition and reaching for transcendence, a folk meditation that lingers long after the final chord has faded.
