When I started searching for artwork I came across the piece that&#8217;s now the cover and it was called &#8220;Theories Of Flight&#8221;. In fact, the title you see on the cover is part of the original art, not something we added. There&#8217;s a loose theme running through a lot of the lyrics, and this developed organically and separately, where Ray and I are often writing about various uprooting, escapes&#8230;.flights. So I was immediately drawn to that phrase as being a better description of what some of the songs are about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The tracklisting for &#8220;Theories Of Flight&#8221; reads as follows:<\/p>\n<p>FATES WARNING &#8211; Theories Of Flight<br \/>\n1.
