Story Behind The Song
When Henk produced this song, he did a strange but effective thing with the three-word chorus - Slow to Go. He speeded up my voice then stretched it out and fitted it back on to the text. It now sounds as if I'm dueting with a female singer but actually both voices are mine. Quite weird. Maybe simple for most people but I have no technical knowledge at all so it was pretty amazing for me!

Lyrics
SLOW TO GO
Touched by the wind
Blown with the snow
Adrift in a storm
No place to go
Frowning like a mountain
Spreading through my room
Slowness is contagious
I catch the gloom
Slow to go
You suspect that I would trap you or keep you
You're so sure I would try to chain you or tie you
But we're subject to the same game, the same rules
When it's over
It's over
It's finished
It's over
Touched by the wind
Blown with the snow
Adrift in a storm
No place to go
Frowning like a mountain
Spreading through my room
Slowness is contagious
I catch the gloom
Slow to go
