Time relentlessly rolls forward and the days pass on by. How we mark that passing time makes all the difference. Sometimes it's a ringing bell, the number of truths or lies we've heard, the number of Christmases we've endured, or the friends we've lost along the way.

Sergio Silva -- frontman for scene-leading Mexico City country-folkers Furland and the Silva in Silva de Alegría, his solo project -- has created a eulogy for what's behind us. Time and the moments that have marked it. Beneath the tributes and regrets is music so animated and sensitive that we end the meditation in better spirits than when we started, regardless of the milestones that mark our years.
