When It’s Gone
“Will you stay here in the fading?
Will you remember when it’s gone?”
Written as an exploration of the human impact on our planet, When It’s Gone is the first piece from our Earth project that begins to delve more deeply into the themes of climate change, and our overuse of the planet’s resources.
As humans continue to exploit and plunder Earth’s natural resources, it battles to support life in our oceans, and we see climate change impact life with record temperatures being reported across the globe.

When It’s Gone attempts to encapsulate an emotional response to seeing all of this destruction, as an onlooker who is watching these events take place, and is almost powerless to stop it.
And while this may be an uncomfortable or challenging concept, we live in hope that there are solutions to this existential crisis, and that we can come together to individually and collectively change the course that we are currently on.
Writing this music, which is inspired so much by the world we live in, seems timely and we hope it provides time for us all to pause and reflect on where we are and where we want to be.
