Making music to capture something that was never there. Not in your fingers, not in the notes, not in the dancing around each other of the sounds like lovers... But you could swear it's close, something you've heard, something real, something for which your heart raced once. 

Then time goes by, the music fades, it's finally over, and you didn't capture anything. 

You were captured instead.

A song about climate change and our effect on the planet, its climate and our future. Inspired by a Nature paper about 'the trillionth tonne' of CO2 emissions, this song had/has a working title of 'Sonoma' and was originally about grapes 'withering on the vine'... I didn't realise that 'withering on the vine' is an expression about doing nothing while a problem gets worse and worse, which fits in very well with the subject of climate change.

This song is the 'twin' song of 'Fool' - both songs were written within 48 hours of each other back in May, and both songs were recorded and published online within 24 hours of each other... in August. Both songs were written and played using a bouzouki as opposed to a guitar.

wither on the vine
poisoning the wine

the futures on the line
running out of time

what have we done
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

beyond the trillionth tonne
planets going to burn
facing everyone
the barrel of a gun

too late now
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

what have we done
don't blame it on the sun
the time will come

Distance has taken on new meanings.  For all the old meanings and the new…

UPDATE:  This was written a year ago, thinking of all the people who will be distanced during the Holidays.  In many parts of the world, the situation has returned to this again.  Thinking of all of you...
