Today's Instrumental Track is a beautiful song by the Australian band We Lost the Sea. This is A Gallant Gentlemen off of their 2015 album Departure Songs. It features the girls choir from Mercy College in Chatswood. This track is named after a painting by John Charles Dollman.
"The tracks tells the story of Lawrence Oates, an army captain and explorer who walked off into the freezing Antarctic night on a expedition gone wrong, in an attempt to give his life to save the rest of his team. He knew he had become a burden on his friends. He knew their chances of survival would improve without him. So off he walked, alone, into oblivion. An opening track to a record that is steeped so much in the ideas of life, death and hope."
