The first and last bit are from a song called “Sunder” from the album permafrost by Jersey Turnpike (it’s a lovely album)After that you’ve got Roadrunner, by Papa M and Triangles and Rhombuses by Boards of Canada (late-nineties style on those two). There’s a Erik Satie snippet in there and Can’t Return (for the Last Time) from the Synecdoche, New York soundtrack.
I ran across the Ellen Craft story twice recently, most powerfully in James McPherson’s Battle Cry of Freedom (which turns out to be a good audio book, incidentally).

What a wonderful story. It gives methe goose bumps. it is hard to imagine the courage and strength it took for them to run and survive.
Great story telling. Loved it
Loved the story! Had trouble with the audio, tho!!! Too Low!! Could barely hear the story! Please “up” your audio! Thanx.
A beautiful story! I heard this story broadcast on NPR several months ago. I was riveted then and that feeling has not left me since…

It reminds me of the movie that the actress Glenn Close was nominated for an Academy Award for her portrayal of a woman who lives her life dressed as a man so that she can earn a living. Albert Nobbs is the movie.
