about

Earnest national leaders appear on TV and huge outdoor screens, trying (and succeeding) convince us that being locked away indoors is the way to personal and environmental salvation. Would we go for it if it were presented in a worldwide, philanthropic fashion? I don’t know – a life of leisure forever in exchange for almost every form of personal freedom might sway a large chunk of the population, but I used a fairly generous slice of poetic licence in assuming that there would be a resounding “yes”.

I had originally intended the opening keyboard sequence to this song to be the start of a musical suite about the life-cycle of a tree (it occurred to me as an accompaniment to an autumn leaf floating gently to the ground) - this intro was recorded halfway through the “Swept Away” sessions and stored for future use. By the time we came back to it, the seeds of the “Isolation” concept had planted (no pun intended) itself firmly in our heads, so I lifted my own idea and used it for this song.
