This song, in many ways, even though it has one element that is old, is the newest song to be worked on and developed. There was an idea around ’95/96 called 'Sit' and there was something there that I always wanted to explore… there was one bit of guitar that David did, so I grabbed that...

I guess it was no surprise that Jane Goodall died working, she died in service. One of the most extraordinary people I have ever met - so full of life, enthusiasm, good humour and passion for the conservation work she championed and absolutely determined to protect the planet and all of its species.

Because WOMAD was unique in its focus on music and art from around the world, and mixing it with up with rock and jazz, no-one knew how many people might turn up... but those that had decided to check out WOMAD and its weird and wonderful lineup were open-minded, bold and curious - a great audience.

Brian Wilson single-handedly raised the bar on how to write and arrange a great pop song. He inspired and touched so many songwriters, including me. It pushed the Beatles towards Sergeant Pepper and in God Only Knows he created a masterpiece that remains unmatched to this day. God speed, Brian. -pg
