In the Filling Station

from Face To Face by Twelfth Day

/

about

This track and its sister ‘In The Bar’ are about non-verbal social interactions. It comments on the uncomfortable feeling women (or men) have whilst going about their day and suddenly feeling under some sort of threat, even if very mildly. When you find yourself feeling objectified or threatened when least expecting it. It sets the scene of a person alone in a filling station at night being given a lingering look up and down by someone and being unable to do anything in that moment except feel fear and/or anger. But it’s also about fighting back by calling it out. The music is in four-part harmony, a line each taken by the violin, the harp and our two voices. Inspired by early music plain chat, the fluidity of the lines moving together sound hazy and dream-like which depicts the lingering feeling after this sort of experience.
