about

This song came out very easily. I did a writing trip at the beginning of the year with my friend Chris Lanzon and it got me thinking about how certain lyrics can frame things in a way that makes the everyday seem extraordinary. It’s an idea that I was already thinking about, but off the back of that trip I found myself noting down lots of lyric ‘seeds’ that were just observations from my day to day life. When I sat down at the piano with those main chords, I scrolled back through all the seeds and just put them side by side - with that the song formed itself! It came to be about observing the world and others around you and the world observing back. It wasn’t until later on that I realised the song was doing something I had been reaching for since I started this new era of music - capturing the wholesomness/ lightness of the second Paddington Bear movie (one of my favourite movies).

lyrics

Water tastes sweet after swimming in salt
All these delicate people
Light rain, tiny needles
Wake to ‘Once I Was An Eagle’

I breathe you
I breathe you
I breathe you
I breathe you
I breathe

Deep in the heat of The Valley
You lie there in the passenger seat
Holding out for you

Far above the rooftops
Dawn she washes the rooftops
Dawn she washes the people
How could you recoil under this view

It breathes you
It breathes you
It breathes you
It breathes you

It breathes you
It breathes
It breathes It breathes
It breaths

I need you
I need you
I need you
Paddington 2
