“So, there’s two songs I’m working on. One is with the Norwegian singer Aurora, who’s one of the most extraordinary people I’ve ever met. Absolutely original human being. You just think: Who designed her? She’s such a one-off. Wonderful person. So, we took one of her songs. I think … yes, I’m remembering the title, because it had another title which I’m getting mixed up with. But it’s called now ‘A Soul with No King’. It’s a beautiful song. And so what we’ve done with that song is we’ve made a sort of … it’s as though she’s walking through a forest, and then we’ve made a clearing, a kind of sonic clearing in the forest, and we’ve inhabited that with Norwegian birds and her voice. I think it’s a really lovely result.”

“The world is calling for us. And it has been for a really long time. We can feel deep inside of our very core, that something is wrong. Working with my friend Fredrik on ‘A Soul With No King’ has mended something in me. I understand where my anger comes from. And what to do with it. And having Brian Eno do a remix of our baby has been a dream. He and I are so connected, it felt very right to do something together. For the Earth. From the Earth.”

Eno and Aurora share a belief that music can make a difference to the planet without "preaching" about climate change.

"If you're listening to a beautiful piece of music, you're hearing the possibility of a good world that we could be in," says Eno. "That's how art changes people. It gives us aspirations that we wouldn't have otherwise."

Aurora adds: "It's much easier to engage people when they feel a part of something. I think only art can make people understand how deep and spiritual this connection with nature should be."

"What gives me hope is that, for kids younger than myself, the conversation around the environment is so obvious," says Aurora. "They're angry and determined and strongly opinionated [about] how the way forward has to be different. It helps me realise not everything I care for has to happen immediately. It's enough to just be a part of a slow process."

"I completely agree," says Eno. "I feel that we're in the middle of an enormous revolution. It shows in the very small things that people do. Their distaste for waste, for example. The feeling that irresponsible consumerism is actually not very pleasant. It just doesn't feel good to be so fickle in our tastes - to have to have new shoes every couple of weeks because somebody else has got them. I think people are starting to develop away from that."
