According to Cosmo Sheldrake, “No. 3” was written back in 2016 in response to a challenge to make a tune above 150 bpm.
While it never made it onto The Much Much How How And I album, it was released this year seemingly in response to the invasion of Ukraine.
The song is “about being lost and walki...
[Verse 1]
I'll be back homeward bound, and sorrow then
Will come again
Will love again (Da-eee)
Where will my feet begin to tread and when?
Will they give in
To rest and then
(Da-eee)
(Da-eee)
[Verse 2]
I'll walk for days on end and rarely spend
Or seconds lend
To foes or friends (Da-eee)
Horizons come and go and eyes pretend
But paths ascend
And wind and wend
(Da-eee)
(Da-eee)
[Verse 3]
When will my feet expend, life force offend
And recommend
My ways amend? (Da-eee)
I'll march for years on end and time befriend
I do intend
To find land's end
(Da-eee)
(Da-eee)

it never found a home on the Much Much How How and I. It is a song about being lost and walking a never ending path. I will donate the first year’s income from this song to charities working to alleviate the suffering in Ukraine.
