The latest single from Fenne Lily’s new album “Big Picture” is “In My Own Time,” is a gentle folk track. “This song’s about the weight of stasis about time moving too quickly and too slowly and every mistake feeling both permanent and inconsequential,” she says.
“When it came to writing this video concept, I wanted it to reflect the twisted aspects of a love that’s found in the midst of chaos and the subsequent feeling of being inanimate in your own story. All that, in the style of Terminator 2.”
Fenne Lily’s third LP, “Big Picture”, is set to be among one of the best records of the year. To commemorate the upcoming occasion, Lily has gifted us “In My Own Time” a low-key but breathtaking acoustic triumph about mutual affection and reliance on others. “Write me a love song, make it all rhyme / Hold me up sometimes, we’ll be just fine,” she sings.
There are romantic undertones lingering, but “In My Own Time” is much more than that. It’s—as the title of the record might suggest—a small ecosystem gazing out at the big picture, one where Lily is reckoning with how to co-opt a space when there’s no place left to turn but into the arms of who’s closest to you. If “let’s make this house a home” was a song, look toward the lighthouse that is “In My Own Time,” one of the tenderest ballads of 2023
