about

This is a song I wrote whilst on retreat in a hut overlooking the North Cornish sea;

I was in a pretty deep and peaceful space within myself, in this beautiful setting, and I wanted to try and capture something of that feeling, and to express the simple truth that we all come from – and return to - Love.

It’s a simple prayer to remember who and what we are, where we are from, and to where we shall return. It also draws on particularly english, lysergic influences, from The Beatles to Pink Floyd to Radiohead.

The song feels to me to be a necessary antidote to all the pain and suffering and woes that we create in the world, out of our separation and forgetting what it is that we really are. If we can connect to the Peace that is our essential nature, we are more readily able to cherish that in ourselves, and in each other. I am hoping that this very simple song might serve as a healing reminder of that.

I filmed the video on my phone in Headington Hill Park, which was something of a discovery for me during lockdown.

None of us have ever known our urban spaces to be so still as they were during that period. In all the chaos and fear, there was also so much magic. It was like the birds got their sky back, and everything was just more alive. With the humans - and all of their noise - removed for a while, Nature was able to take a deep breath. So I had to go out and capture some of that as it seemed to fit the song so well.

Matt

lyrics

Go in Peace
Peace is where we come from,
So, go in Peace

Hold yourself dear
Love is where we come from
So, hold yourself, dear

Look for the light
The Light is where we come from
So look for the light.
