"I was fooling around with a circular series of three chords - the usual suspects, D, G, A - over which I was singing a melancholy, falling tune," he wrote. "Each chord was the same length, so the cycle was three bars long - not your usual song structure." He went to Irving Rosenwater's biography of Bradman. The music video for the song was directed by Storm Thorgerson. [8] The beach scene in the official video was filmed on the Dorset coast near Charmouth.
