Mulberry Harbour

I found myself playing the guitar part of this piece a lot during a time of personal loss and grief. That may be enough to put you off right away - and if you're enjoying the brightness of spring then it's probably best to move on now - but if you're heavyhearted and want something to reflect on, then this is for you.

Sometimes you just need to languish in it a bit, going round and round, until gradually you find some sense of comfort.

Mulberry Harbour - Meta

Mulberry Harbour

A song originally about an old violin teacher called Meta [meeyta], weekly visits, old performance photos on the wall, and the woozy feeling from the always-raging gas fire

Revisited a couple of years later, slowed down, cut up, and orchestrated in reason

And lyrically turned into a more suggestive and sinister song of a honey trap, with the leaky old gas fire now central

(with apologies to Meta)
