<P> "The Pin Drop" addresses "the concept that you can be with someone because it's comfortable and convenient, not because there's any love or empathy ." Wilson explains that "The song is basically sung by the wife . She's dead, she's been thrown in the river by the husband, and she's floating down in the river while singing this song--from beyond death, beyond the grave, as it were ." The song considers "The idea...that sometimes in a relationship there can be so much tension, so much unspoken resentment and hatred, that the tiniest thing can set off a violent episode, and in this case, one that ends in tragedy . The sound of a pin dropping on a floor can be the thing that instigates the fury ." </P> <P> The fifth track on the album explores "the story of the watchmaker, the guy who is meticulous about his craft, but he never has any kind of emotional outburst, nor does he express violence or any extreme emotions whatsoever ." It concerns "a couple who have been together for 50 years or more, purely because it was convenient and comfortable ." Wilson explains that "The watchmaker ends up killing his wife and burying her under the floorboards of his workshop . But, of course, she comes back, because she's been with him for 50 years; she's not going to leave him now ." The song concludes when "the wife comes back to take him with her, which", Wilson suggests, "is another classic ghost story, in a way ." </P> <P> The title track explores the story of "an old man at the end of his life who is waiting to die . He thinks back to a time in his childhood when he was incredibly close to his older sister . She was everything to him, and he was everything to her . Unfortunately, she died when they were both very young ." The man becomes convinced that a raven, who visits the man's garden, is something of "a symbol or a manifestation of his sister . The thing is, his sister would sing to him whenever he was afraid or insecure, and it was a calming influence on him . In his ignorance, he decides that if he can get the raven to sing to him, it will be the final proof that this is, in fact, his sister who has come back to take him with her to the next life ." </P> <P> A music video for "The Raven That Refused to Sing" was released on 8 February 2013 . The video, based on Hajo Mueller's artwork, was directed by Jess Cope and Simon Cartwright, who were also responsible for the video for Storm Corrosion's "Drag Ropes". The album was released on 25 February 2013 . </P>
