Here are the pictures @anniedressner took for the Here are the pictures @anniedressner took for the final song, 'Robin'. I know I've been doing b/w but there's something cheery about the colour versions so they are included here too. I love those red wellies.

On 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hurt' the version of this song is a live recording obtained at the Cambridge Folk Club, helped by the brilliant talents of Calvin Monk, and the singing talents of a roomful of post-lockdown folkies.

Love like there's no tomorrow. ❤️

This is the photo @anniedressner took for song num This is the photo @anniedressner took for song number 10 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hurt', 'Dirty Circus', which is my musical gripe against domestic grind. 

I started to write this song in the thick of it, but I finally was able to finish it after those years of two-under-5 was over. I think many creative people struggle with this period of life if they have children. I know I went through patches of depression while they were small, which was hard for everyone. Things got better. And I got this song out of it, which I love very much. Especially the descant mornings and tenor afternoons part.

Song number 9 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hur Song number 9 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hurt' is 'Tired Old Eyes'. 

Here's the picture @AnnieDressner took for it. I played it last night at @ccfest @thehugandpint and there was a lullaby singalong in the room, if such a thing is possible; it was gorgeous. 

It was the brilliant @kerrydevinemusic who made me realise the power of this song. It is a sleepy love-letter to one of my children - a sort of hybrid amalgam of them both, I think. There's an animated video on my Youtube channel if you fancy a rummage.

@anniedressner took these photos to represent trac @anniedressner took these photos to represent track 8 on 'Pitch', 'Bracklesham Bay'. I had a young volunteer as you can see. 

This song remembers a special day many moons ago, and the love connections that stretch beyond the time we have. 

And yes, I do still have the little pebble I found in my pocket. And it does indeed have the fins of a fossil stamped into its skin.

Track 7 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hurt' isn Track 7 on 'When Violent Hot Pitch Words Hurt' isn't a song at all, it's a poem. Its real name is '2 October 2020' - all my poems have the date of composition as their title -  and it explores feelings of abject failure, the sorrows of getting it wrong. It became the song 'Sullen Volcano'. https://buff.ly/3XoGoau
