    “It was written on one of those grey rainy days in winter last year where I was playing around with chords and came across one that I hadn’t come across before.

    “The old lyrics were scrapped, new words and a tweaked melody took their place.

    Chet Bucke “Leaving (Marie)”

    “‘Leaving (Marie)’ came to me one night a year ago, around the beginning Spring. I received a video of my grandmother singing for her friends back in Spain that inspired a deep sense of homesickness and longing for connection. I instinctively picked up my guitar and started fiddling along to her voice. I felt that…
