The opening line “Cherry, I flew all the way out to Tacoma / to tell you that I’d die to get to know you” showcases his smooth vocals and beautiful style of songwriting.

To Carry A Whale is Benjamin Francis Leftwich’s fourth album, and he says it is the first which was written and recorded sober. He explains the album title:
