Compassion Road was the fourth release from my current album Learn To Love. This is one of the songs that is most dear to me on the album and writing the song was a very moving experience as the song ‘came through’ to me. As the chorus and chords emerged there were tears as I was fortunate enough to be the beneficiary of this touching song coming through to me.
The video was the first time I had filmed footage of myself and it has a documentary style. It combines my documentary style footage in the verses and the richer wider shots by my friend and multi-time video Director Marcin Kovacs on the choruses. The end sequence is my favourite part.
