‘Death Narrative’ is a pivotal moment in our forthcoming studio album. It’s probability a slight poetic over-step, but it was an important part of uncorking my grief. Jim died of lung cancer surrounded by his kids. He wasn’t in any state to express how he felt as he slipped off this mortal coil – these words are what I like to believe he said. Helps me sleep.
