Story behind the song
This is the first of myself and Jonathon's tracks where Jonathon has actually performed. He was quite insistent that no-one else should read the piece, which he recorded in one take. The wind machine used, was written (in the Pure Data programming language) and played, by me. Extra effects were derived from material on the PDSounds website. The music was written on TuxGuitar, realized with SynthFont and produced using Audacity.
Lyrics
Anita, by Jonathon Harflett Autumn and in their hundreds the birds depart Winter is walking in my heart. Waking, I find the trees are bare, Looking up, I cannot find you anywhere. Outside, the children muffled in their coats. My poems die before they reach my throat. Sometimes, I think of you at night With pen in hand..but cannot write.
