about

This year I've started collaborating with some incredible songwriters which is something I'm pursuing from hereon. In January I teamed up with singer/songwriter Benjamin Leftwich Francis & Alex Davies (Elliot Minor) to cook up a song. We started jamming ideas & lyrical concepts & this song was created.

My upcoming album was missing the last song & after some thought it struck me that this song would be the perfect final piece as although initially written as a broken hearted love song, it could also be interpreted as bidding farewell to something killing you & vice versa. Therefore I chose it to close the album Living A Life Without The F after Ben & Alex very kindly gave me their blessing. I'll be working much more with these two lovely talents. Alex will be contributing his amazing string skills to the album too.

lyrics

You didn't notice you broke my heart in two.
You couldn't know it was you.
Now that you know this, although I still love you.
What's left is broken & bruised.

I know you know, our final song is playing.
Slowly fading.

Do you know?
(Do you know?)
Nothing's gonna change if you stay the same.
Do you know?
(Do you know?)
If you stay the same nothing's gonna change.
Sing it once again.
Sing it once again.
Nothing's gonna change my mind.
Do you know (do you know) our final song?

You didn't realise that I was calling out.
I whisper, you scream & shout.
Is it any wonder that they all had their doubts?
Silence thundered so loud.
