This song has been used internationally under the name 'Constellations', in various ways from a popular TV series in Hong Kong to an online advert for Mercedes Benz.
I wrote it on a train from London to Oxford. I played all the instruments on the recording, which was produced by Rich Thair (Red Snapper, Number, Petwo Evans). The main instrument was a zither, for which I'd forgotten the tuning key.

lyrics

Criss cross looking at the lines
You can read my time
You can read the past the future read now
You don’t need showing how

Switch back looking at the holes you can read the pattern
Notches like code
Feel the marks like Braille
With a mind like yours you won’t fail

Does it get through the interference
Does the signal register
And when will I know, if ever

Turn on your magnetic light
Your skull is a lantern I can read your night
See the tracks of want in a constellation
What you can and can’t

Whip crack tripping from the tongue
Can you taste my thinking, mind is undone
Say the black ink words soaking up the page

It could wait forever, it could happen now
Has forever won?
