A-side “Despite The Snow”, the title of Emily Barker’s second studio album is a song written to accompany a short, silent film by Patti Gaal Holmes which in turn was inspired by the subject of dreams and by Robert Graves' love poem called 'she tells her love whilst half asleep.'
AA-side track “This Is How It's Meant To Be” was recorded in a live take during The Granary Barn album sessions for the album Despite The Snow in March 2008, with the four members of the Red Clay Halo (Emily on acoustic guitar and vocal, Gill Sandell on accordion, Jo Silverston on cello and Anna Jenkins on violin) sitting around a few microphones, a couple of electric bar heaters and with blankets over knees.
This single was released on a limited run of 7' vinyl as well as a download in April 2009. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
