The featured song of the EP. An old song, originally written just verse / chorus on acoustic arpeggios. Briefly performed live in a band, but in a very different arrangement. Like Night-Time Storm, another song thinking about the sea and rain at night. I have a memory of sitting in my room in our rental on a road running south of St James's
The featured song of the EP. An old song, originally written just verse / chorus on acoustic arpeggios. Briefly performed live in a band, but in a very different arrangement. Like Night-Time Storm, another song thinking about the sea and rain at night. I have a memory of sitting in my room in our rental on a road running south of St James's Street, at night, with the window open, where you could be hearing the noise of the wind or the traffic from Marine Parade, but you also hear it as the sea just a little further away. I'm really pleased with how this one turned out. I recorded me doing some bad beat-boxing for Olli to start working on the beat, and we decided to fold it in to the overall mix. The vocoder is all Olli's idea and I love it. Likewise the guitar in the second chorus. Of all the songs on the EP, this one makes me want to dance the most (at some kind of sad disco).
It's not very tight lyrically, more working with imagery and feels. Breakups, the sea, the city, climate breakdown — the usual.
