Steel is needed to manufacture everything from aircraft carriers to ironing boards. It is critical for construction and defence and contributes significantly to the national economy. But many countries can produce steel much more cheaply than the UK – notably China, which accounts for more than 50% of global steel production. Plus, the market is distorted by many factors, notably Chinese state production subsidies and US tariffs on imports and then there is the impact of Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms on production and global supply chains. 

Where does this leave British Steel?  To what extent should the UK government protect its steel sector in the interests of strategic autonomy, and of keeping the industry afloat? And do recent UK trade agreements make any material difference to our ability to buy and sell steel?

Joining our host, Chris Horseman (Borderlex), to unpack this are Chrysa Glystra (UK Steel) and Mattia Di Ubaldo (CITP/University of Sussex). 

Does UK steel production have a future?

[Intro]
The crow still sings when the sky turns red
And the road forgets the names we bled
The wind hums hymns I used to know
But I ride where angels fear to go

[Verse 1]
I buried truth beneath my boots
Choked on prayers and bitter roots
The lawmen came, the sinners fled
I lit a match and burned what’s left

My father’s ghost rides shotgun still
With bloodstained grace and iron will
He whispers low through diesel breath
“You chase the wind, you ride with death.”

[Pre-Chorus]
And I ain't lookin’ for no crown
Just a place to lay me down
If I meet God at the edge of flame
I’ll curse his silence and take the blame

[Chorus]
So let me ride into the black
Where the light don’t beg me back
No saint, no devil, owns this road
Just broken men and tales untold

I carved my name into the sky
With every sin I left behind
Let the stars fall cold and flat—
I won’t be prayin’ where I’m at.

[Bridge]
Mama said the dark would bite
But the dark just held me tight
Ain’t no heaven for a man like me
Just the howl of ghosts and gasoline

[Final Chorus]
So let me ride into the black
Where the dust don’t turn me back
I gave the reaper all my youth
And he gave me one last truth

The road forgives what no man will
A soul condemned, but riding still
One last breath, one final track—
Lord, let me ride… into the black

[Outro]
“Don’t wait for me at heaven’s door... I never was the prayin’ kind.”

Ride Into the Ashes

[Intro]
The road was never paved for men like me,
Just gravel, dust, and memories.
Mama prayed, but I walked fast—
With a heart too loud and a past too vast.

[Verse 1]
I stole my name from a motel sign,
Left it behind at the county line.
A ring in my pocket, rusted with time,
And a letter I wrote… but never signed.

Whiskey don’t burn like it used to do,
Now it just talks like the ghost of you.
And the wind still howls down that lonesome track,
Every mile I ride, I don’t come back.

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't lookin' for a second chance,
Just somewhere I can rest this stance.
But the gravel’s deep, and I still bleed—
For every vow I didn’t keep.

[Chorus]
I got gravel in my blood, and smoke in my soul,
A thousand lies carved in the road I stole.
You can’t outrun the things you've done,
But Lord, I tried with a loaded gun.
If I fall tonight, just let it be—
Where the dirt remembers me.

[Verse 2]
Met a preacher in a border town,
Said “Son, it’s not too late to lay it down.”
But my hands were cracked from years of war,
And peace don’t knock on an outlaw’s door.

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw your face in the rearview light,
Smilin’ like you forgave me right.
But I still drive like I’m chased by grace—
And I don’t know how to hit the brakes.

[Chorus]
I got gravel in my blood, and smoke in my soul,
A past too mean, and a heart gone cold.
The road don’t end, it just forgets—
And I’m just ink in your regrets.
If I fall tonight, just let it be—
Where the dirt remembers me.

[Bridge]
Let ‘em carve my name in the wind and pine,
Not in stone, I’ve crossed that line.
Just bury me in boots and dust—
And let the echoes do what they must.

[Final Chorus]
I got gravel in my blood, and scars in bloom,
A man half-proud and half-doomed.
Tell my story like a faded hymn—
Of the roads I broke just to outrun him.
If I fall tonight, let me be—
Where the dirt remembers me...

[Outro]
...Where the dirt remembers me.

Gravel in My Blood

[Intro]
The road don’t end, it just forgets your name
But we ride on, just the same
Through smoke and sun, through blood and rust
We live, we ride — we’re brothers of the dust

[Verse 1]
We carved our names on canyon walls
Shared smokes, scars, and midnight calls
A thousand miles, one beating drum
And every mile, we rode as one

[Pre-Chorus]
Through burning skies and pouring rain
We never begged, we never prayed
We just lit fire from the pain
And rode through hell to feel okay

[Chorus]
So here’s to the ones who stood by my side
Through the blackest nights and the blinding ride
We ain’t got crowns, but we’ve got trust
Built from the ashes, the iron, the dust
We’re not just men, we’re more than blood
Bound by the road, by oil and mud
And when I fall, I know you'll rise—
My brother's soul behind my eyes

[Verse 2]
You held the line when I gave in
You pulled me back from where I’d been
With just one look, you said enough
And I remembered what we’re made of

[Bridge]
If I go down, don’t sing no hymns
Just ride the wind where silence spins
And feel my voice inside your roar—
I’ll ride beside you evermore

[Final Chorus]
So here’s to the ones who won’t let go
The ghosts we carry, the hearts we know
Through shattered dreams and skies of rust
We found salvation in the dust
We ain’t got names on marble stones
Just the echo of tires and broken bones
And every mile, through every flame—
I ride for you. We ride the same.

[Outro]
Through the smoke and sun, through blood and rust…
We ride, we ride—
Brothers of the dust.

- Record Vill Project
-- Creating melodies that tell stories. 🎶✨--

Record Vill Project comes from the most honest part of me ❤️: a place where every note grows with honesty, humility, and deep respect 🙏. There are no masks 🎭 or big goals 🎯 here—just a true wish to share what I feel, just as I am. 🌱

I tried to sing 🎤, I dreamed of it 🌙… but I never could ❌. Sometimes because of fear 😟, sometimes because I lacked confidence 🤷‍♂️. Still, that doesn’t stop me from creating 🎨. Because I learned that sometimes words aren’t needed to be heard 👂.

My voice is born as melody 🎵—and it finds its echo in artificial voices 🤖 that aren’t mine, but carry my truth within their notes 🎶. The lyrics and beats I create connect everything ✨, forming one story. Sometimes I don’t need to sing to speak to you 💬… I just let the music speak for me 🎧.

I don’t want to be better than anyone 🚫👑. I don’t compose to shine ✨ or to be famous 🌟. I do it because I need to 💙. Maybe, inside my notes, you’ll find a piece of yourself 🧩. An emotion 😢, a wound 💔, a memory 🕰️… or a bit of peace ☮️.

My music is a bridge 🌉, not a stage 🎭. It’s an invitation to feel without judgment ⚖️, to share without masks 🤝. Giving you what comes from me is also a way of receiving you 🤗.

🚀✨ Thank you for giving me the chance to show you my world 🌍. Thank you for listening 👂, for feeling 💓, for being here 🤍. Welcome to this journey 🌟, where it doesn’t matter who I am… but what we can feel together 🤝🎵.

Electronic chaos with purpose. This is just the beginning.
