The track opens his forthcoming LP, 'First Light', which is set to arrive on December 8 and marks his first release away from the Coastguards since 2011's 'Sudden Fiction'.
Discussing the song, he said:
"It may be the first song I've written about true hope, and it sets the tone for the whole record... Optimism manifested as a hunger that's "by my side like a stray in the wild", the search eventually leading to "the emptiest well" that "floods till its ready to spill". We set the words in an orchestral landscape that is constantly shifting beneath the feet. Uncertain, sometimes rushing, sometimes hesitating, but always confident of reaching the end."
