About the song
Donald Campbell was famous for being the only man in history to hold the land & water speed record at the same time. He was killed on Coniston Water, in the lake district of England, while trying to break his own record of 272 mph. At over 300 Mph, his jet powered boat flipped and desintigrated. His body was never found, and was surrounded in mystery till 2001, when his remains were finally found at the bottom of the lake.
He was then laid to rest at Coniston Water In September 2001.
I have used Chopin´s Nocturne in F minor as a base for this song.
