We recorded this track ourselves at our guitarist Ben's homemade studio in Bristol, England. 

The idea of the song came one morning during a cycle commute into central Bristol in a queue of traffic sat alongside Arnos Vale Cemetery.  It's a  Victorian cemetery, that has partly reverted back to nature.  From the late 1980's, people acted together to conserve it, fighting off the threat of developers, amongst other things. Now it's a haven for nature within just a mile or so from the city, right next to a busy main road.  https://arnosvale.org.uk/discover/heritage/friends-history-arnos-vale/ 

I learned about the urban farming movement in Detroit, Michigan a few years ago. (e.g. http://www.miufi.org/). It's amazing how communities there have transformed urban spaces into places to grow vegetables, after big business & the motor plant came & went.
