Games Workshop has kindly asked me to compose a holiday / Christmas song for a third time.  For this year, they had an interesting script they showed me, which featured a snapshot into the lives of regular people in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.   As bleak as it may be, there is still hope- which is the theme of this year’s animated short film.

 

I composed the song and brought in the immensely talented April Henry to perform it.  She has a warmth and intimacy to her voice that I instinctively knew would help express the emotion of this piece.    It had to be beautiful but also haunting.

It was a pleasure to work with my engineer Brian Vibberts again- we mixed this at Pete Townshend’s private studio in the heart of Soho, London.

 

As expected the fans had a huge reaction- half a million views in the first few days, thousands of positive comments!
