Seven years ago, Jamie McKechnie was the victim of an unprovoked "one punch" attack in south-east London.
Struck in the back of his head by a total stranger, he fell face-first to the ground and suffered a serious brain injury.
It left the BMX enthusiast in a coma for nine weeks. Doctors gave him a 30 percent chance of living.
But supported by his family, Jamie learned to speak, walk and even cycle again.
His girlfriend Ellen Murphy, who sings under the name Only Girl, was by his side throughout the recovery - and poured her emotions into music.
One of the songs she wrote in that period, Mountain, has just been released - accompanied by a moving video that chronicles Jamie's journey through rehab.
"I thought it was really important for people to see what we went through," she says. "To show the archive footage from his time in rehab, and especially to understand the consequences of a senseless 'one punch attack' and how this can completely alter someone's life".
