Sam Fender's latest single "People Watching" is a poignant tribute to Annie, his former drama teacher and lifelong supporter. This episode explores how Fender's visits to Annie's care home inspired a track that beautifully captures the contrast between life's constant motion and the stillness of personal grief. We'll unpack the collaboration with Adam from The War on Drugs, resulting in a nostalgic yet present sound, celebrating Annie's impact on the world.
