The project has also had assistance from musical director Jenny Deacon, who has worked with choirs at The Royal Albert Hall, The O2 and Wembley Arena.
Single supports SleepOut
The song comes as the ‘Mortgage SleepOut’ event gets underway, where people from across the industry are giving up their bed on November 30 for a night to raise money for charity.
More than 1,000 people from the industry, including Mortgage Solutions parent company Ae3Media, have pledged to sleep outside for a night.
Montlake said: “We spend our lives trying to help people to own and protect their own homes, but we are also all too aware of the growing issue of homelessness in the UK.
“I initially wrote the lyrics on a late journey home one evening and tried to imagine what someone without a home would be feeling at this time of year.
“It’s about the thin line of life events that could see any one of us end up in such a position and how we need to all work together to help and change the reality of life on the streets.
“Paul has done a fantastic job with the music and after experimenting with several genres, the version we have now conveys the positive and uplifting feeling we wanted to achieve. We now want to get as many industry people as possible to help sing on the track.”
Brett added: “There are incredible musicians and artists working in our fantastic industry across the UK and we want to bring as many of those as we can together, to showcase what we can do and help the fund-raising effort that has been started by Mortgage Sleep Out.
“Come along and be part of the choir, and record with a legendary record producer. See you on December 1 and 2.”
