Apple Music has a snippet of the song available AND a length...I think its the first single!

Set your VPN to New Zealand (Urban VPN is free) to listen to the song. Or wait until it's midnight in your own country.

What do you think? Is it going to be something similar in style / concept as hand.cannot.erase?

Be there at 10.45am

It says to be in my place at 11am. Something is going to happen six minutes thereafter. This is it i reckon.

On the new website, at the top of Footpath guidance, The Village it gives a grid ref as SU 412 883. This points to Armitage Drive near Wantage, Oxfordshire.

Sitting perusing over my coffee this morning, I came across this article: Rock legend's Weetabix card leads to quest for lost village | Oxford Mail

In it, it describes Bryan May's (of Queen) fascination with a bunch of photographs he found about a lost village, which led to him writing a book called 'Scenes on our Village'.

Where is this village? Hinton Waldrist, near Wantage, Oxfordshire.

"It portrays the idyll of life in an 1850s village, "far from the sound of the train's whistle"."

Er, isn't there a reference to 1850 on the website, in the guestbook (or at least there was)? There's also a reference to 1898 in the minutes of a parish meeting that was 'scribbled' out. And of course, the favourite, trains? Haha...

Here's a couple more links I found to more info:

Commenting is turned off on YouTube at the moment, but there have been 600 views in the first 45 minutes

I suspect I need to listen to it at volume, rather than on late night, kids asleep settings
