about

This one's a cankered glance at the transience of forever feelings, inspired by the classic graffiti shorthand for "If Destroyed Still True". With a bit of luck, you may stumble across the rarer variety "IDEMT" ie "if destroyed even more true". Have only seen a couple of these latter ones once on Felling Metro station's footbridge. Played this at a friend's wedding a couple of years ago.
