(Keith Helliwell/Rob Mackenzie)
This song was
written by the two members of the duo Northeastern Sunrise who are based in
Ross-shire, Scotland. Working in collaboration, Keith Helliwell wrote the lyrics and melody with the tune being
added by Rob Mackenzie.
It relates the
story of a war-torn solder who is struggling with the fight to overcome his
personal battle with post-war syndrome. The line “We go to war and
step into the mist” describes the soldier going into an unfamiliar
situation where he has no idea of what’s going to happen or what the
end result will be and the turmoil he experiences when he tries to get
himself back into some kind of normality.
The song appears
as the first track on the Northeastern Sunrise
Expectation EP.
