I became obsessed with a chord progression which I managed to get onto a cassette in 1991 when I was still a biochemistry student working in a bar part time, I later played them to Jim who I'd met there, in the west end of Glasgow .. those chords became the song 'Fallen'🕊️🩶

This wonderful artist Shona Hardie coincidentally just painted a playroom like outer space in my house for my kids last week and I called her to check if this was her & she said it was n partly due to that she painted this background & used rest of our paint for these stars ✨ ⭐️
Apparently this is in Edinburgh at Meadowbank stadium.
Lovely tribute to Andrew Weatherall
