about

'The Fates' in Celtic culture are essentially there to determine our destiny....in other words, we have little or no control as to how our life pans out. I've always been fascinated by this concept and to a degree believe that life is pretty much a 'ride', and plan as we might - things turn out however they do.

And so - this song takes that notion to the extreme where the people inhabiting the song have found themselves somewhere they'd never imaged they'd be. This led to the concept for the film clip which was to use a series of vintage mugshots.

The music and the images work powerfully together - it's in their eyes that you can almost feel their sense of 'how did I get here...how did my life reach this point?'

And that...is the Fates.

lyrics

And the Fates are all rushing in
On a cold petroleum wind
And there's always a hole to fill in
The details

And they claw at your door
To get in
And you wore the linoleum thin
When you sure had it all it begins
To derail

And the way that it all could have been
And you're tired but you try
To pretend
With a smile that you hide weapons in
When you fail
