Although Jo originally wrote this song before the 'Be Thou my Vision' concept was formulated, it perfectly fits the line from the hymn 'both waking and sleeping, Thy presence my light'.
When we knew that Maire Brennan was available to sing on the album, this was one track that we knew would be ideal for her vocal textures and a place where some fragments of the Gaelic translation of the hymn would fit in. The song was written on piano, but the arrangement changed to acoustic guitars/synth and vocal textures to create a more open, atmospheric effect.
Both these tracks also feature Robert Fripp on guitar synthesiser and 'Frippertronics' (a complex array of echo and other effects) adding some background textures.
