Crescents and Stars video

A music video made by myself, Claire and my daughter Freida recently. It comes from a new album by Aaron Jones and Rachel Walker called Despite the Wind and Rain, which celebrates influential women in Scottish history.

This song is about Mary Somerville, a scientist who spent her youth exploring the outdoors in Scotland and cultivating a gift for observation that eventually led to the discovery of Neptune as well as many books and papers on mathematics, astronomy, geography, ecology and anthropology. We thought it would be nice to represent that magic of exploring the outdoors early in life, observing, learning and finding inspiration that can take your life off on some exciting path whether that is science, sport, art or just enjoyment.
