Information

A beautiful piano song with string, which is a re-work of Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3 (Redemption). The Room Above the Shop is a reference to the place above the Antiques Shop, which Winston decides to rent, so he can be with Julia as there was no "tele screen". It is one of the few songs in the record credited only to Bellamy.

The old man had grown noticeably more cheerful after receiving the four dollars. Winston realized that he would have accepted three or even two. –There’s another room upstairs that you might care to take a look at– he said. –There’s not much in it. Just a few pieces. We’ll do with a light if we’re going upstairs– ― George Orwell, 1984
