This song, written back in 2015, reflects a common human phenomenon, entirely from my own experience: a crisis point in life when circumstances alter dramatically, precipitating changes which feel at once cataclysmic, beyond control, a breakdown of sorts. This 'sturm und drang' can turn out to be just what's needed, though given the option it's probably the last thing we may choose at the time, nor wish on anyone else. A treadmill may be familiar and comforting, but it is a treadmill after all...
Dan Wylie, an avid literary expert on Dante, has a vast, bold collection of art works relating to this theme. They create a perfect landscape to accompany this original song, sung by the dazzling Tshego Makube.

| Personally, walking in any wilderness is hugely helpful in crisis times, or anytime |
Originally conceived over hours, days on scraps of paper, all songs are eventually recorded and assembled using basic technology, piano and guitar.
