In Their Words: “Sometimes you look back over your shoulder at a time or a place and itâs like an old film playing out. Around eight years ago I was living with a long-term partner and we had agreed early on that we werenât interested in having children of our own. Then one day she let me know that she had changed her mind: she did want kids after all, and soon. It all came to a pitch at the kitchen table and it ended with me walking out the door. I remember her face partly obscured by the net curtain as she watched me walk away, and it was like we were strangers again. I didnât recognise her at all. Songwriting can be a way to work through things like this, in a powerful and positive way.” — Robert Jackson, A Different Thread
