This song had been a “fragment” for a couple of years – a state the befalls many an aspiring melodic doodle, sound design or chord cadence.

This time, the glockenspiel melody that formed the initial draft had another iterative polish, together with the addition of synthetic (Taku from Vocaloid) and real (Richard from Essex) vocals. There’s the usual smorgasbord of synths, risers and percussive doodling.

The lyrics are like a lot of mine … they mean something to me though to others they are like cryptic crossword clues that have been through the shredder. Hope you enjoy the unravelling.

Lyrics
See the planes
Crossing in the sky
See the planes down
And make them heed the warning

See the planes
Crossing in the sky
See the planes down
And make them heed the warning

See the price I pay
In gold

Twice the price I’ve paid
In gold

Foolish victory
Hollow in the land, you see
For 26 dollars

Saved!
