about

A Lynn postcard in sound

lyrics

Where Whitefriars prayed
Children walk on water
Towards Christmas.

Dirty December
sunset spilled
on the rippling Ouse
like oil.

A factory -its
smoke clouding
the English sky -

And seagulls,
faces like free-fall
angels
screaming on the grey.

The audio postcard came later from field recordings in the area. The track had over 500 plays worldwide on Soundcloud in 2019.
