The Last Normal Day

BEHIND THE WORDS

About the song

Life-changing moments rarely announce themselves. The day before a death, diagnosis, war, separation or departure usually looks completely ordinary. The song asks us to recognise the value of mundane life before memory makes it sacred.

Its place on the album

The album closes at the kitchen table. After civilisation, economics, technology and war, its final attention goes to the people in the room and the ordinary moments that cannot be kept forever.
