Sienna Spiro says new single, 'The Visitor,' took '9 attempts to articulate'

Sienna Spiro has released "The Visitor," the follow-up to "Die On This Hill." She says the song, which gives her current tour its name, spent a long time gestating.

She says on Instagram, "It's very hard to put into words what this song means to me. It took me 9 attempts to articulate this feeling I've felt my whole life. About two years ago, I was sitting with a friend who mentioned an art exhibition called The Visitor. Of course, I'd heard the word before, but for some reason, it stayed with me."

"Two months later, I was at my favourite jazz club. ... The band introduced a piece of music they described as being about the temporary nature of life. From then, it started to become such a big theme in my life," she continues. "I think my whole life I've felt like a visitor. I've always been aware of the temporary nature of things, of life, of time. And in that sense, we are all visitors."
