Hi Our Basement,

Gardens are rich in symbolism: they can represent fertility and abundance, but also entropy and decay.

With our new single, I wanted to write about this twofold nature—the cyclical pattern found in all of existence—from the perspective of human relationships.

Kaleidoscopic, lush and dreamy, this song is a reverie, a daydream.

It is a story about the bittersweet nature of love and beauty, and how I can’t seem to experience either without an awareness of their inevitable breakdown.

But the mood of “The Garden” isn’t sad, it celebrates this mystery.

We travelled to the Château de Villandry in France’s Loire Valley to shoot the song’s video several years back.

We had only a day to shoot after scoring a flight deal to Paris but each of the pieces fell into place when the Chateau granted us permission after telling us they loved the music and our videographer, Fred Yurichuk, was able to book a last minute flight.

“The Garden” was written in a burst one afternoon but was nothing but a rough demo when we travelled to France to film the music video; therefore its recording took influence from the visuals as we set to perfect the final version of the song.

We hope you enjoy “The Garden.”

Thank you,
Twin Rains
