The working title for this was, "I try to make it right". The words that I wrote at the time were pretty much the things I wanted to tell people that I loved and things that I would want them to know if I died (no, no, no not a suicide note).

Birth Song 03

This one was recorded around 2007 in Newcastle, though the riff dates back to 1999. This one is about one day in 2004, Caroline and I and my dear friend Therese went swimming at Tallows beach. We were swimming happily until the tide took Therese further and further out until she disappeared behind the waves.

I will never forget screaming her name, and in my panic trying to swim out to her, and then the realisation that I too was being pulled out into the rip. Turning around, crying I kept asking myself have "I just lost her forever?" She was driven further out to sea, but eventually she was released from the current and managed to swim back to shore in a state of complete shock and exhaustion.
