about

‘Patrick harbours both love and rage in these/his words but also manifest within is a beautiful hope and reminder of our shared humanity’
Martyn Joseph

"Patrick's words offer both a powerful exhalation of beauty and a place of sanctuary in these uncertain times. Navigating the aftershocks of grief in the wake of the loss of both of his parents, the importance of embracing uncertainty and the 'fuel in this fracture', it is a collection that speaks to our current state of disunion as a species. A balm for the soul."

Catherine Anne Davies aka The Anchoress

Nicky Wire

I always love Nicky Wire's lyrics - their wisdom, wit, sadness, and rebellion. Wire ages almost painfully gracefully. This particular song feels like it was written for me (it probably wasn't) because of some letters and art I sent or tried to send Wire a long time ago when I was in a mental health crisis. In any case, it seems to be about someone who had the stupid and embarrassing experience of loving a famous stranger they know only from their art. richeychthonic

Versions

Never heard of the Anchoress before hearing a gig at the Union Chapel on the day this launched. I bought the tickets entirely on a whim, thinking it might be a nice birthday present for my sister at one of our favourite venues. We both loved the gig - a discovery for us both and so nice when you discover new music by surprise. The songs played from this album were all beguiling interpretations of classics, which we loved, and the rest of the gig was great too. CAD has two new fans. bmhj
