I saw a production of Hamlet the other day – it was magnificence on a stage. Kid you not.

I came home from said production and this is the song that it begat (and erupted). The chords are something I have been toying with – a classic old-school bluesy thing, really – but it came over so slow and dark and beckoning, it just fell straight into the incredible vibe of the play.

If I was to distil the anguish, nay absorbed schizophrenia, of that world, perhaps it would taste like this.

Feeling moody? Get out a candle or whatever makes it work for you, and crank this fella up in a spacious room.

Whisper if you need to.
