He visualized the song as a journey through a bleak but beautiful landscape. We decided to film along the narrow gauge railway from Hythe to Dungeness, which runs through some of the most desolate but dazzling landscape in the country. A vista of abandoned boats, lighthouses and drama. The drama reached fever pitch when we were thrown off the estate for not having a permit. A bleak end to a beautiful day.”_ **Dave Rowntree on the song itself:**_ “I grew up in the UK in the 1970s and while there were definitely good points about the decade, I also remember how toxic it could be. The country was deeply divided, and racism and misogyny were the norm. The economy was a basket case, and at one point we had to be bailed out by the IMF[ International Monetary Fund]. However, listening to some people, you’d think it was a golden age to which we should yearn to return. “This song is a note to self, to remind me how far we’ve come in forty years.”_ ![](https://i0.wp.com/mcusercontent.com/f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984/images/230c62b2- ffc7-6b12-daf7-b41267173c7b.jpg?w=1290&ssl=1) [[**DAVE ROWNTREE – RADIO SONGS TRACKLISTING 1. [Devil’s Island](https://reybee.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f67b4587af2b2ef9aa80ed984&id=0dc5e8a863&e=615f2b8493)2.
