UKSC Judge Susan Muranty said:
“This is a beautiful piece of lyric writing – structurally flawless with a great title and a clarity of meaning and purpose that is just delightful to listen to and engage with. I love the fantastic gritty imagery in the detail of the “broken sink” and the powerful dramatic punch line of “it’s later than you think”. I can hear this worked up into an epic moody folk tune that really connects with its audience. The clear winner to me!”
