This song written by Tim Bowness and Alistair Murphy is about recovering an important part of ourselves that was always there. It’s the discovery of a precious treasure that was forgotten and abandoned; something that means an essential part of the character and is completely hidden in a tangle of thorns, brambles, wires and cords. Many times in my life I’ve felt like that; memories, passions, friends, places… My experience in life is that all things I have lost, when they’re really valuable, they always end up returning to me in a different shape.
