about

So I had the stuff for the two “Darkest Before The Dawn” tracks and needed to get something that would be the bridge song, the pivotal piece for when the population slowly realises that there is a choice, that there is a way out. Having been brow-beaten into submission, the light finally hits the back of the eyes and the front of the mind.

Anyway, I hadn’t got it.

At some point during the sessions for “Lockdown”, Brian sat playing about with a couple of chords on his acoustic. When his answer to my question of what he was playing was that he’d just put them together, it immediately seemed perfect – I even had an idea for the lyrics for it (which didn’t ever see the light of day, I must add). The vocal melody and the lyrics you hear here are the second set we did; the first set of lyrics were far too wordy and the melody was all over the place. These words I mostly lifted from the original draught, with a fair old bit shaved off.

This is the first truly co-written song we’ve done thus far and it’s easily one of my favourites.
