Cover of a song originally by Osibisa, I heard it first in a lovely version by Anais Mitchell and Kate Stables, and wanted to have a stab after singing it a lot to myself during lockdown. 'We will get there, heaven knows how, but we'll get there. We know we will.'

Most of these recording come from a self-directed project to share 55 pieces each of 55 seconds, whilst I was 55. Some of them are roughs, sketches and demos from before and after that.
