A Place in the Right Heart

This weeks track.. is a bit of a mess.. that said, I've got a good reason! I did most of it on a train (well.. 2 trains) to London and back. I don't usually write music with really specific concepts in mind, but here I tried to capture a Real Feeling(tm) that I've not had before, or at least a tidal wave of various feelings.
I was heading to London to be part of the People's Vote March. For non-UK peeps (and those that might not have seen) 100,000-ish people marched in London to demand a vote on the terms of the UK's Brexit deal. Essentially give us a chance to stop this thing that I for one, do not think is good for us, Europe, or the world really. But also a chance to, if we do really want to leave the EU, do so on terms that are not dictated by our (shambles of a) government.
This was a weird experience. I've done marches before, but never on this scale. I've felt one of many, I've felt one of few. You feel elated to be joined by so many others, you feel saddened by the immensity of the task ahead, you feel overwhelmed, you feel drained. I kinda hope I captured a bit of that, even if its not the most accomplished of pieces I've done this year.
Peace out!
Art!
