about

The Tunesmiths challenge for this track was to compose a song about summer. Taking my childhood home of Forgandenny in Perthshire as my inspiration for a reminiscent tale of summers gone by, I went out to my parents' house - they still live in Forgandenny - in May 2013 and planted my digital recorder at the entrance of their summer house and recorded the abundant birdsong within their garden.

Using a guitar part (open G with a capo on the second fret) that had been floating around my head since the mid-90s, I then put lyrics to it to reflect a longing for past summers and a rekindling of hope. Late on in the writing process, I decided to namedrop my home village which may make this the first and only song to mention the name Forgandenny. A mandolin part was added as well as a harmonica drone and four layered recorder parts to add a bit of colour to the overall song.
