about

Hidden is, I guess, a symphonic poem. My last one of those was 'The Journey' from my first album 'Keepi'.

This one is a different theme entirely.

Hidden was inspired by watching a David Attenborough documentary which featured a section when a mother panda tended to her cub in a dark cave for many weeks. It struck me as so beautiful and tender. I wrote the poem first, then the music and then recorded the narration (which took some time to get right).

Enjoy.

lyrics

Two in the cave
Where it is just them
Slow bears, hidden

They connect, immeasurably
A pure bond, in the black stone air
Plush familiarity
No sour tongue or danger

Maybe she worries, but I like to think not
Her eyes are soft peace
And they rest,
Just the same,
Small in a dark place

A simple passionate life
Slow bears, hidden

Green ferns flutter in the wind just outside

Two in the cave
Where it is just them
One held, one holding
