“Julep” is the second song off of The Punch Brothers' fourth album entitled The Phosphorescent Blues. The song is written from the perspective of someone who has recently passed on and finally has an answer to the question that so many have asked: what will Heaven be like? You can almost see the smile on the singer’s face as he realizes that his heaven will consist of the moments that he spent with the woman that he loved- or as the group’s front-man and mandolinist Chris Thile so beautifully sings- “a julep on the porch.”

What “Julep” lacks in a clear and tangible narrative, it makes up for it with viscerally real minimalist portraits that take you right to the small, beautiful, and content scenes from his past that now make up this man’s new forever.
