lyrics

Sitting down to create this track brought up a lot of emotions and questions in relation to mental health. I've had a number of friends and family members who've had ongoing struggles with mental health and I also lost a friend to suicide some years ago. I've only danced around the edges of mental health issues and with lifes ups and downs I've been lucky to have never been taken headlong down into the dark places I've seen others go. Making this then was quite a challenge and the track took several months, I was patient and left the music for a week or two and then picked it up again before letting it rest again. Making this track got me to reflect on the mental health of people I've known and those we were lost and to focus those emotions into sound. The two main field recording in this track - one of distant workmen drilling and the other of trees creaking in the wind - both feel like the pressure and mental forces of nature and society (the earth and the world) that are a constant in our life. The instruments and rhythm of the track are like the emotions and experience of the person, that which our individual mental health produces. These sounds / emotions ebb and flow along upon the bed of the field recordings, sometimes sounding confused, glitchy, occasionaly mournful, sometimes in shadows, sometimes at peace, sometimes almost reaching a state of beauty but always with a movement flowing somewhere, somehow.
