Award-winning journalist Melanie Reid mentioned Emily’s song ‘Bird Inside A Cage’ in her final ‘Spinal Column’ in The Times Magazine today.  Melanie broke her neck and back in a riding accident nearly 15 years ago which left her in a wheelchair.  She began writing Spinal Column from her hospital bed only two weeks after the accident when she had just come off a ventilator.

A photograph of Melanie on the cover of The Times Magazine in 2011 inspired Emily to write ‘Bird Inside A Cage’.  It became the title track of her fourth album and was described by Melanie in her column as her ‘candle in the wind moment’ (you can read the original article here).

You can read Emily’s blog about it and listen to ‘Bird Inside A Cage’ here on her website or any digital music platform including Spotify.
