There Goes the Ice
By Robyn Hitchcock and KT Tunstall, inspired by Cape Farewell’s Disko Bay Expedition.
There Goes the Ice
Words by Robyn Hitchcock
Musicians: Robyn Hitchcock and KT Tunstall
Visual artist/video by David Buckland
Written by Robyn Hitchcock and performed by Robyn Hitchcock and KT Tunstall, There Goes the Ice was inspired by Cape Farewell’s Disko Bay Expedition along the remote West Coast of Greenland in 2008.
During the voyage, Robyn Hitchcock wrote the song after artist Chris Wainwright asked him to spell our “Here Comes The Sun” with semaphore lights on the deck of the ship. Robyn took the song fresh to KT Tunstall in the next-door cabin and they recorded it there and then.
The work featured in Cape Farewell’s exquisite international touring exhibition Unfold, reaching audiences in Beijing, Liverpool, New York, Chicago, Falmouth, Newcastle, London and Vienna, as well as the accompanying Unfold book.
