VIDEO: “Never Coming Out”
Kathy wrote this song after spending time secluded in a backyard bubble tent during the first pandemic winter. In the bubble, she read a book about Julian of Norwich, who survived two pandemics in the 14th Century. The song and video were inspired by Kathy’s bubble experience and Julian’s life. (Arranged/produced by Steve Dawson. Recorded by Paul Coady and Steve Dawson. Vocals and acoustic rhythm guitar by Kathy Greenholdt. Harmony vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, and mellotron by Steve Dawson. Introducing Filemon, the cat.)
