Follow, go with me’ which is a lyric from the song Island by the French band Autour de Lucie. Audio is ‘Black…. White’ by Takako Minekawa Which is, in turn, a cover of the song of the same name by Jane Birkin. The song was made as a promotion for whisky. In turn, it seems this songs score is stolen from ‘Fields - a friend of mine’
