Silence

Format – WAV

One good thing about Corona Virus was that it slowed our world down so much and at the same time, it cleaned it as well… The skies were so clear and clean and the air we breath was so much cleaner as well, and something else… all the endless noise was traffic, aircraft, trains, building sites and so on just all but disappeared and for the first time ever we could hear instead, the beautiful sounds of nature…  I cheated a little here because once, when filming in Sweden in the middle of a freezing winter, I managed to wander deep into a snowy white forest at night to sit in its stillness beneath the watch of a bright silvery moon and there let my whole body and mind just fall into a world of silence.  I hope you experienced this silence during the lockdowns and, if you did, well you’ll understand just why I wrote and recorded this song.
