about

The Tunesmiths brief for this track was to write a garden song. Coming up with the well-used C major 7/F major 7 chord structure, I decided to write a song from the perspective of a long-standing fixture at the foot of a garden. That fixture has been there for about 250 years ("a thousand seasons I have seen") and has provided a place to hide and a surface for lovers' names to be carved out on.

The minor key middle section reflects some of the sorrowful things that the fixture in question has witnessed over the years whilst the last verse returns to the major key to end the song on a more hopeful note.
