A few weeks ago a robin kept appearing when i came home, i noticed it had a missing foot. Its beathing was quite laboured, and it was clearly struggling, but managing. I scuffed up the ground for it whenever i got back and it was there, so that it could find grubs and insects in the disturbed earth. I thought it was a male, as i'd heard a singing robin in the hedge close by, but this turned out to be another robin. I never heard the one footed robin sing, so its a she. She very quickly started looking for me and trusting me, enough to take food from my hand. Soon though, other robins learned that i was feeding her, and would appear when i was with her, and she would fly away. Robins are very territorial, and violently aggressive towards one another. She would wait until it was almost dark, when the other robins had gone to roost, then appear at my window, and she would get a last feed in peace before she too went to roost. Sometimes she would just not go, perched in the light from my window as it got darker and darker. You need to go, i'd say. In the end i had to go in and switch off the light, so that she went, somewhere safe. This past week it has become extremely cold, -4 or 5 at night. She had this to contend with, along with being intimidated and chased away by at least another two robins, and her missing foot. Even though i would sit with her and try to shield her from the other robins, they only had to appear and she would fly off, and they would chase her. At mid day two days ago i fed her, she looked very thin, and was breathing very fast. Her one foot clasped my little finger as she fed, then she was gone, another robin after her. She didn't appear that evening, and i've not seen her since. Her struggles are over. Nature is unkind. It broke my heart not seeing her again and wondering about her fate, but she filled many beautiful moments with her closeness and trust. You wonder if you did the right thing. I tried to. I didn't compose this piece for the robin, or intend to call it Robin, but as i played, i think she made it sound the way it does.

Lyrics: 

Painted faces
And puffed up cigarettes
Whisper to me alone
The people ask me 

Who are you?
Who are you undivided?
Who are you
Without stone walls 
To hide in? 

Who are you?
Who are you undivided?
Who are you
Without stone walls 
To hide in? 

Cave of ignorance and night
Would I step into sunlight?
My ghost stalks the other life
Take back all that once was mine
In death my chains are broken
Relive all that's forgotten 
Rebirth rises with the sun
This is my resurrection 

Who are you?
Who are you undivided?
Who are you
Without stone walls 
To hide in? 

Who are you?
Who are you undivided?
Who are you
Without stone walls 
To hide in?

who are you

I hope the Wild Edges speak for themselves. The rest is what happens between them.

I have limited know how and equipment, but think that feeling is more important than hardware and technical ability. 

I decided to stop liking other artists tracks, even if i do like them. I was feeling the pressure to like tracks when i listened to them, especially when people sent them to me to listen to, worried that if i didn't i would upset or offend the artist if i didn't like them, its easier just to like privately. Misunderstandings sadly happened too easily, so i'm distancing myself from the possibility of hurting anyone and of being hurt myself.  Maybe it is better being alone after all. Soundcloud is just like anywhere else where there are lots of people...it can be difficult.

I won't follow, listen, or like, for followers, listens, and likes, so, please, don't ask me to. 

This is a creative escape.

I am always trying to be quiet, but often fail, and to do better.

For Headphone listening
Thank you for listening
