Here\u2019s our finished song \u2013 In The Long Run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not enough to ask the question<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When will these horrors cease?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boxes pile up all around us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2019Til we commit to peace\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another first for this final month of the CONSEQUENCES project \u2013 William and I collaborated over Facebook Messenger! And it\u2019s incredible that we managed to pull it off, considering that William was touring Europe at the time\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have deeply admired the passion and the political content in William\u2019s work, which you can get to know yourself here: https:\/\/williamcrightonmusic.com.au\/<\/a> William and I had talked about ideas of refuge and compassion in advance by email, which led to us exchanging some lyrical ideas around the impact of war on the most vulnerable in our society. Having accidentally missed William\u2019s best window of opportunity for collaborating earlier in the year, I\u2019m extremely grateful that he was still up for the collaboration, even though it meant him recording ideas (like the lyrics and melody of the refrain!) into his phone, straight after coming off stage at a festival!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge thank you to the talented creative team who helped bring the song to life in this recording, and with whom it\u2019s been a delight to work with over the course of the project \u2013 to Mattie Foulds (drums, production), Kevin McGuire (bass) and Mikey Owers (vocals, brass).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s maybe not the upbeat way some might want to finish an album, but it feels right to me that we\u2019re acknowledging the reality and the horror of what\u2019s happening across the world right now. Nevertheless, I\u2019m pleased to end the album on an offer of warmth and comfort \u2013 something that those of us lucky enough to be in a position of privilege can choose to give others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
