This is a video collaboration with TheWhisperingvoice to celebrate the arrival of spring. 'April' was written by John Clare, one of England's most renowned nature poets from the Romantic era. The poem is part of the work 'The Shepherd's Calendar', published in 1827. Many, many thanks to TheWhisperingvoice, who created this most wonderful audio. His whispers were some of the very first I heard on YouTube and have been inspiring and relaxing me ever since, and it has been a real honour to make this with him.

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
