  "The sun's beat down", by Jo Eaton & Thomas Scovell

  "The sun's beat down" is both a remix and a mash-up. We took set 2's words, "moment, light, curve, attend" and image, as inspiration. Both made us recollect our childhoods and long summer days. The image reminded us of washing the sand off ourselves before we were allowed inside after a day at the beach.
