about

'Take Care In Your Stride' is song and accompanying animation created by The Bookshop Band and Eilidh Nicoll. The song explores the research of Oxford University researchers Kate Raworth (Doughnut Economics) and Professor Yadvinder Malhi, on living within the limits of our planet.

The song aims to communicate groundbreaking ecosystem science and economics research in an accessible and inspiring way. After a lot of reading, including Raworth’s best-selling book ‘Doughnut Economics’, The Bookshop Band decided to explore themes of planetary health, unsustainable economic growth, and undervalued parts of the economy, such as parenting.

The project was commissioned by Tandem Collective, produced and released by Upcycled Sounds Records, and supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

lyrics

Hush baby e’re you know
That the breath of the world surrounds you
And breathes in time too
Dream & take care in your stride

Breathe in
Finding your pace in the world that you face
And we hold, and breathe out
Breathe in,
Make it a safe and a beautiful place
And breathe out

Hush baby, try to sleep
Don’t you grow up too fast, there’s time to keep
Don’t make your path too steep
Dream & take care in your stride

Beauty is not a size
Nor is money the reason you’re alive
Find your own place to thrive
Dream & take care in your stride

Breathe in
Finding your pace in the world that you face
And we hold, and breathe out
Breathe in,
Make it a safe and a beautiful place
And breathe out

Hush sweet, we gently call
That the world is an island after all
Softly rise and softly fall
Dream & take care in your stride
