'Face Her' – Robin Torbitt TiNMP Submission by Robin Torbitt

This is a song I wrote as my entry to the Tune Into Nature Prize. The lyrics were inspired by the sights and sounds of a walk I had in the RSPB reserve at Lackford Lakes in Suffolk. Standout sightings of this walk to listen for in the lyrics were treecreepers, a gaggle of geese and the most amazing murmuration of starlings. As nature changes so much from dawn to dusk, I really wanted to structure the song to reflect this progression and the different beauties to be found in 3 verses: dawn, noon and dusk. I recorded and produced the track myself, it features ambient sounds of birds, streams and wind recorded on my morning dog walk – my dog Herbie even features subtly at 0:23 running from left to right in your headphones.
