"The field recording captured the wild wind and traffic on the Forth Road Bridge which I have walked and ran over many times. From it you can see the Forth Bridge and hear the sea below and I felt the field recording prompted these images in my head.
"As the Forth Bridges are also a busy tourism spot, I feel that the significance of capturing the sound of such places contributes to an overall cultural and atmospheric significance.
"I recorded the song on acoustic guitar, bass and drums over the backing of the field recording.
"I have lived in South Queensferry for over twenty years and before that used to make frequent trips over both the rail and road bridges, so the place has special memories for me.
