This is a song about anonymous British grafitti artist "Banksy" whom both Joe and I are big fans of.
Joe lives in Swansea (Abertawe), Wales, and a lot of our stuff is recorded down there nowadays. Around Christmas 2018, a new Banksy mural appeared on a garage in Port Talbot, Wales, and Joe and his younger daughter Lily went to see it.
Excited by this -- and leveraging an existing guitar riff Joe already had -- we wrote a song about Banksy.
After a few iterations, he and I got together at his house in Swansea in February 2019 and completed the song. We hope you like it.
'Cos after all, there's always hope...
