“Bare for Every Storm That Blows” is a reworking of Stephen Foster’s “Hard Times Come Again No More.” I played the song into Logic Pro, cut the MIDI and reassembled it, and then replayed it as best I could (my keyboard skills are remedial at best). I kept clustering repeated bars, and it ended up sounding almost fanfare-like to me. The title is from Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens and refers (like Foster’s song) to the vulnerability of poverty.
