From the recording Christie
“Christie”, which reached the semi-finals in the UK Songwriting Contest, is a ‘lockdown’ song, conceived in 2020 when the world was locked down and loved ones couldn’t meet. As the song says “we're locked in … when will we see those days again … touching skin and holding hands…”. The accompanying video portrays these emotional experiences with its lockdown scenes and images of isolation and separation (some of the photos were taken by Keith himself during that time). In typical Hat or Belt style, the reflective, wistful lyrics are wrapped up in catchy riffs and memorable melodies.
