Go to sleep ...little Earth! ====================================================================== [Translation of the German coda] * Deep ...deep ...somewhere in the depth ...there is light! The choral parts were inspired by the Georgian song ’Tsintskaro’ that Kate had heard used in the soundtrack for Werner Herzog’s re-make of the vampire movie ’Nosferatu’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdjqDzaNVjc Richard Hickox was the arranger Kate used for ’Hello Earth’ and for the choral sections rather than use a real foreign language Richard suggested using vocalisations that just sounded like a language and Kate liked the idea.
