Off the back of trying to form a band called Secret River Band, just before the Covid-19 Pandemic, songwriter and guitarist Craig Chapman developed the theme into a prayer of inner strength to help navigate the inside out world we’d had thrust upon us. Craig was working as an air filtration engineer with more than 30 hospitals during Lockdown - which he describes as a very thankless task and one where it was so hard to believe in a higher power amongst the clueless chaos suddenly thrust upon the world. The lyrics express standing up for what you believe in and hold dear, whether it might be religion or other values that “guide us through the dark”. 

The brand new single from Chasing Twisters is a foot-tapping, sing-along Christmas banger all wrapped up in a warm, fuzzy, festive feeling. The actually song started life as a school assignment when Laura was studying Music at high school! Laura found it amongst some old paperwork and wondered if it could be brought to life by Chasing Twisters, by adding a little country magic!
