Ray Wilson has released a video for his track Makes Me Think Of Home.
It’s the title track from the former Genesis frontman’s sixth album, which is released on October 7 (Friday). Makes Me Think Of Home is the follow-up to Song For A Friend, which was issued in June.
The Scottish musician says of the track: “I often reflect on my life in Scotland, as I have lived in Poland for eight years now. I had a basement studio in my home, which I spend years writing in and recording songs and albums.
“The darkness or lack of daylight became almost addictive to me. Day after day, year after year, I would head down there to create music. I didn’t realise it at the time, but it was also sucking the life out of me.
“I needed light and a life, outside this reality. When I came to Poznan, I got a huge apartment with lots of windows and a balcony overlooking a park.
“This song highlights my memories of back home in Scotland and the many fights I had with my own emotions over those years.”
Wilson has also released an EPK (electronic press kit) ahead of the album launch, in which he goes into more detail on the album’s concept.
He discusses the Scottish independence referendum and the recent Brexit referendum.
