about

Comets is about optimism - seeing the good in people regardless of the bad. As the fourth song on the EP (UP is the 3rd), it’s a real turning point where the songs begin to look outwards. It’s about finding resolve at the end of a relationship, but at the same time it’s the realisation that it isn’t just about me, but the personal narrative is actually tied to a broader experience. Where conceptually the song looks toward the outside, the sound of the music gradually becomes more intimate towards the second half of the EP. UP featured a sax sextet and the string quartet, but Comets just has the string quartet, the beautiful arrangement of which my amazing friend Oliver Beard and I worked together on. This contrary movement of opening outward in message and at the same time becoming more intimate in sound is all to represent the idea that the most personal things are actually the most universal, an idea that will really become clear once you hear the whole EP.

lyrics

Couldn't see the stars through all the smoke
(We caught sunlight too)
Hope you left the shadows for Alaska
(I'll carry you)
