There is new a song for you now, and the beginning of a new chapter. It’s called “I’m Not There”. I think that’s all I’ll say. I hope it lives well in your ears. These last few weeks, Nick and I have sung to Glaswegians and Cardiffians (yes that’s what people from Cardiff are called, I googled it). We were accompanied by strings at those shows, same as at the Union Chapel at Christmas, which temporarily elevated us to the status of ‘seated theatre band’. It was classy while it lasted. We played a lot of new songs which felt correct. Back to drums and standing and beer again soon I think.
This song was written under a particularly dense cloud, with a rainy brain. I was draining my subconscious, not present in the slightest and it came out very fast, which doesn’t happen often these days. What may also be interesting to some is that the recording is a fully live performance, we played it once and once only and that’s all the listener hears bar a single piano added later.
Very excited for you all to be hearing this new chapter unfold this year. A huge thank you to everyone involved, please honour the credits below.
