Ballad of the Rest Home

"Ballad of the Rest Home" is told through the eyes of a resident whose days pass in slow, measured steps – where routine is both comfort and cage. Amid the stillness, one moment stands apart: the arrival of their carer.

In that brief exchange, the world brightens. A smile, a touch, a shared word – tiny acts that cut through the weight of solitude. Like the stories before it in The "In Transit" Sessions, it’s born of real encounters, shaped by the road and the people met along the way.

It’s a song about connection, dignity, and the quiet power of being seen.
