Taken from the album ‘Shout Out! To Freedom...’ out now → n-o-w.ffm.to/s...
I’d been a fan of both Pip and Sabrina’s for some time before making this song. Once I had the idea, I knew it was for Pip.
We made the song in Lockdown 1 and it was all done remotely. It wasn’t ideal but Pip’s writing and performance really speaks to that time and is so powerful. Only after she delivered her parts, I had the idea for the ending. I reached out to Sabrina, who delivered in a major way. I couldn’t be happier than how these two artists contributed to this song 💜
“We wanted to explore the honest reality and complexity of what healing really looks like. Rather than portraying healing as the romanticised, linear process it’s often perceived to be, we wanted to intimately convey the rawness of the experience - the good, the bad, the ugly and the in-between.” - Tolu Coker and Ade Coker, Directors

LYRICS
I usually write every feeling down
No, not this evening, I don't want to feel it right now
So I'll wait and watch it go away
But it won't
I just want to feel okay
I'm hiding away
I'm hiding away
I'm hiding away
I'm hiding away
And I don't want to feel this anymore
And I don't want to feel this anymore
It's isolating
Make plans
I don't wanna break up with you
You make me feel
And the good feels so good
And the good feels so much better than your sad
And the good is a step up from the bad
And the good is the best I ever had
I don't wanna break up with you
I'm hiding away
I'm hiding away
I'm hiding away
I'm hiding away
And I don't want to feel this anymore
And I don't want to feel this anymore
It's isolating
And I don't want to feel this anymore
And I don't want to feel this anymore, it's isolating
Keep your heart warm and your body won't rust
Trust that things will get better, you will not be bitter
Accept that bits of you won't ever look the same again
When they were how they were, you just complained anyway
So let go because it's a while from over
Even if it can't be lived over
It's knowing it can be lived until it's gone, but before that
Find the morning that spreads butter on your toes
Ride the wind's broken tracks to a triangle of glass
You've never seen done before
Sunbathe your core until your insides are so nicely heated,
They could be eaten
Then lay your star-warmed body down
Your origami'd skin meeting what it once was and now grows
Your swollen eyelids, let the masks make their own way
Give your liver to the birds,
They will sing to us all the things you've heard
