Harvester Of Man by Rowena Simpson published on 2022-03-09T22:11:42Z In 2020 I visited the Isle of Whithorn on the Solway in Scotland. In the middle of the night I woke up and saw a Little Egret standing still on the rocks below. the place was so full of atmosphere with St Ninian's chapel high up on the headland keeping watch for the fishing boats to return safely to the harbour. The next morning, I was inspired to write a poem about what I'd seen. I've finally made the poem into a song. Layering up tracks using my Yamaha P121 piano and Roland interface with SM 58 mic which is popping a bit and using audacity to record. I enjoyed layering up the harmonies and keyboard voices on this.
