I woke up with that keyboard line rattling around my brain and couldn’t get it down quick enough. The lyrics came immediately after. I’ve loved the notion of a lyric-less chorus ever since I first heard The Chameleon’s otherworldly Second Skin 🤍
I've had the keyboard line from that song by @francarlyon.bandcamp.com stuck in my head for at least two weeks - just so lovely. Out v soon on @yyzrecords.bsky.social if you fancy grabbing a copy

Ten Years is about coming to terms with loss. I wrote it after visiting Reculver in Kent, a place where I spent many childhood weekends. I hadn’t returned in the ten years since my father’s passing and could feel his presence everywhere. (1/2)
