"Letter From The War" is just one part of Contemplation, an album that explores themes of reflection, resilience, and human connection. Each of the included tracks, and several being cover songs, tells a story, often inspired by real-life experiences and historical events. The album blends folk and americana styles with rich guitar arrangements, aiming to create a space where listeners can find comfort and understanding.

This 15-song independent release, "Songs for Emily" is sort of a collaboration between McCarroll and mid-19th century poet, Emily Dickinson.
