Episode notes
Late Narnia Discovery
- David Radford discovered C.S. Lewis in college and was deeply affected by "The Chronicles of Narnia".
- Reading the series sparked his imagination and gave him a new perspective on scripture and the gospel story.
Blue Flower Inspiration
- The album's concept began while touring another album and reading "Planet Narnia" by Michael Ward.
- Radford was intrigued by Ward's argument about Lewis using medieval planets as archetypes in Narnia.
The Blue Flower Symbol
- The "Blue Flower" symbolizes an unsatisfied desire, more desirable than any satisfaction, a key theme in Lewis's "Surprised by Joy".
- This concept resonated with Radford, inspiring the album's focus on exploring this longing.
