Greetings, from somewhere in time. I am Noah Berry, and have thoroughly enjoyed the music of HUM since I was introduced to them in the spring of 1995. I sincerely hope it has been as much fun for you to peruse this site, made with love, for a loved one, as it was to create it. In hindsight, years, and years later, I was only trying to reach her. With a clear mind, wherever you are now, I miss you, and even with all that has and hasn't happened, I have only ever cared about somehow finding my way back to you. • ────────⊚
