about

Written in a COVID fever with heatwaves melting both poles, the moody strings in Vivaldi's "Summer" led to Andrew Lang's "Summer's Ending" and the line "The wind is up, and the weather broken", which could have been written about the climate crisis today. The addition of suitably broken, glitchy drums, bass and effects alongside cascading piano resulted in a track which was finished just as another deadly heatwave baked India.

Listen: the wind is up and the weather broken.

lyrics

The tide and the summer begin to turn,
And ah, for hearts, for hearts that yearn,
For fires of autumn that catch and burn,

The wind is up, and the weather broken,
Listen, the word that the wind has spoken,

That loves depart as the hours decay.
Blue seas, blue eyes, are grieved and grey,
For love, gone out.
