Jenny is a chronic Sleepwalker who lives by the sea on England's south east coast and takes somnambulant dawn walks along eerily quiet beaches.
By day Jenny is an artist who loves to sit close to the shore and sketch the world around her, cradled by dunes and wild grasses and getting lost in nature and the rich inner worlds it inspires.
Life hasn't always been a walk on the beach. She's well acquainted with the roller coaster of doubt and pleasure that many people ride and she once took the life of a man she had loved very much, but on days like today she lies on her back behind a tattered orange windbreak. She watches the sky and wraps herself in old blankets and in the sound of the wind.
Occasionally she sleeps and dreams of colour and light.
She once woke at midnight standing waist deep in a rising tide, looking out to sea as moonlight fell on the waves. She didn't feel the cold at all but felt that she was eight separate selves. Hovering like fleshy drones above the seawater.

Lyrics:
The morning sun is a soft reminder
The graceful arc of a kind word
The curvature of your naked body
The songs you make at night

The crooked throat of an old survivor
The pain we feel when we feel free
The weekend lost on a pointless labour
Talking in your sleep

Oh and the shapes you’re making
Oh when you are sleepwalking
Oh and you are vibrating
I listen what you’re saying

Everything is up in the air like a bird without a home
Everything is all in the mind if you see things that way
Everything is harder to do if it’s either wrong or right
The songs you make at night

Nothing is a thing you can do if you hold on to yourself
Nowhere is a place in the world where no-one knows you
Nothing is a thing you can be if you hold your failures tight
The moves you make at night

Oh and the shapes you’re making
Oh when you are sleepwalking
Oh and you are vibrating
I listen what you’re saying

The morning sun is a soft reminder
The graceful arc of a kind word
The curvature of your naked body
The songs you make at night

Oh and the shapes you’re making
Oh when you are sleepwalking
Oh and you are vibrating
I listen what you’re saying
Oh and you are vibrating

So cool! This came up as an ad on a 'Sympathy for the Devil' video. Hooked by the percussion and the first images, so stayed with the ad. Then, 'Hey, that's Margate!'
Sitting here in deepest France I can say that was a great town to grow up in. Hats off to the band and film crew!

Sitting on a balcony and your music is the only thing keeping me from going off the edge
