Editing Mr. Buechner's Dream (section)

==Background==
Although the album includes over 30 songs, the band did not set out to record a double album.  "I think Chris Colbert (the band's engineer) thought we were a little crazy. It’s my sense that the sheer joy of being together again in a creative setting after a seven years absence opened the floodgates of the creativity I believe is unique to Daniel Amos", explains Taylor, the band's lyricist.

Lyrically the album reflected the tumultuous events experienced by members of the band in recent years: the death of two young and very dear friends, including producer and studio owner [[Gene Eugene]], cancer in Taylor's family, and in the families of other close friends.

The "Mr Buechner" referred to in the title is [[Pulitzer Prize]] nominated author [[Frederick Buechner]], who has been a major inspiration on the band's lyrics for years. The album also pays tribute to authors [[Walker Percy]], [[T. S. Eliot]], [[G. K. Chesterton]], [[Flannery O'Connor]], [[Lewis Carroll]], and [[Dorothy L. Sayers]].

Some of the studio sessions and rehearsals for the album were filmed by friends of the band. Those films were later edited together to create a "behind the scenes" DVD, appropriately entitled ''[[The Making of Mr. Buechner's Dream]]''.
