Essex

Fifth and final track of the pending Love & Essex EP.
But an explanation is needed. The footage used for this video is respectfully stolen from a BBC documentary called The Wild Places OF Essex, screened on 10th Feb 2010. It just so happened that it encapsulated both the theme of the song and the video I had envisioned for it. If anybody from the BBC finds this and is unhappy with my commandeering of their property, I would appreciate it if you'd politely ask me to take the video down. Here is the official synopsis for the original programme, which you should keenly seek out:

Multi-award-winning writer Robert Macfarlane sets out on a journey to explore the unexpected landscapes and natural history of Essex, revealing that there is far more to the county than the stereotypes of white stilettos and boy racers.
Macfarlane spends a year travelling the county's strange and elemental landscapes of heavy industry, desolate beaches and wild woods. He encounters massive knot flocks over the Thames, peregrine falcons at Tilbury Power Station, water voles within sniffing distance of the municipal dump, deer rutting in earshot of the M25, barn owls, badgers and bluebells in Billericay as well as a large colony of common seals
