Over the last 6 weeks, soon after the Ash/We are Scientists release (which was, and continues to be an amazing success) my life, time and energy has been nothing but firmly focused on my family, what with my Father and 4 month old baby both finding themselves in hospital, both very unwell... It was during this time, at my lostest ebb I received an email out of the blue from Marissa Nadler, included in the email was a link to the finished version of Washington Parks... What can I say except is it everything i wished for, beautiful, haunting and completely fitting for the situation/mood I was in at the time, and to be honest, am still in..
Ever since the email mentioned above, the health of my Father and son is improving day by day... I have exchange lovely emails with Marissa who has offered incredible words of support, and in her words "It was fate that she sent the song that day, at that time, at my lowest"
Have an advanced listen below, the song will be released end of October, as with all versions of Washington Parks" all profit from any purchase is going to the MS Society to help beat Multiple Sclerosis..

P.s. Check out the special addition on this version of the final verse, from the beginning I have wanted Marissa to add the final verse, something I never got round to recording but was always my intention..
