This was all recorded pretty early in the morning on my trip back down from a weekender playing up in Vermont. On a whim, the night before, I asked my brother if an old ski slope he frequented in college would be open for some... unconventional travelers.

This was really, really fun to film and I have to say, there's something satisfying about playing like this.

At this point, my fingers were raw from how much I had played this weekend. My voice had been warm for days, my body exhausted. There's something about getting onto a ski lift at that point and giving the last bit of yourself to the mountain. As loud as you can sing, as hard as you can play. No audience, but for the wind which will take it all away.

Thank you for watching, I hope this can be of some comfort.

Love always,

Margot
