The album title is obviously a play on the old ‘Blue Sky thinking’ business metaphor for stepping back and taking a fresh approach. It’s an act of creative optimism.

However, the world I see around me today does not encourage optimism. If anything things feel more unsettled and dangerous than they have at any time I can remember. We’re a divided society, with people retreating more and more into their silos. We’ll believe almost anything that plays to a comforting narrative that we feel safe with. We know it’s falling apart, but seem unable to deal with it or confront it.

The songs seem to be a way of me working out those concerns.

..Is it hope beyond reason, this might be the season at last.. To Begin Again?!!!
