MaryLeigh Roohan is a pure songwriter. “The High Wire” was written while MaryLeigh drove alone through Minnesota in 2014 and finally finished it three years later in the quiet of a little California cabin. There’s a tenderness to this song. Lindsey Copeland (director) captured that beautifully with her incredible gift for cultivating a powerful but understated emotional quality. She masterfully took the quiet intimacy of the song and translated it into a subtle magical desert journey.
