This evolving of an old Devon mantra asks the land, and the many generations who have held songful allegiances to it, to chorus along. But ‘Meeting’ also calls in a new idea of companionship for the journeys we make. It imagines what stewardship for the land could be today, inherently petitioning for a permissive ‘open for all’ state in how we understand our place in nature. ‘Meeting’ with its decadent ‘English-folk-gospel’ sound welcomes the glorious chorusing of ‘Trans Voices’. This choir, made entirely of gender non-binary and trans singers, collectively resounds in that yearning for a renewed way of connectedness with nature. This song subtly demands that our natural heritage needs to be accessible to everyone no matter of cultural origin, gender sexual orientation or heritage. ‘Meeting’ implicitly remarks on the queerness that nature exemplifies, an expelling of masculine hegemonies and a rematriation of the land. ‘Meeting’ is a soulful call to arms, an anthem of ecological and multicultural emancipation, a denial of that segregation we’ve endured from our motherland and a psychological and literal disappearing of barbed wire all through the power of song. ‘Meeting’ is an anthem for a future that holds a nature-centric ideology at its heart. It asks what equality could feel like within the custodianship of our common stories both ancient and modern, and what guardianship of a nature-enriched and nature-centred England, Britain and World could be. To see it we must first sing it.
