I wrote this song at the end of 2019 after being back in London for the first time in a year.

It was an emotionally raw time. That thing of questioning the nature of home after a significant time away. I realized my home is my body and its situation and distance to the people I love, even if i don’t see them that much, just knowing the distance is short somehow means everything. I was 27 writing this song, I’m 30 now. I’ve been so lucky to base so much of my life on music, and the love I’ve received from some of you here makes me feel a deep gratitude. I think I’ve only just come through my Saturn Return… in the years between recording this song and now I’ve made very little music, and been focusing on learning new skills.

When I was staying in Tokyo I had a new idea of what I wanted to do. I felt so aware of the urban planning and architecture, and how it fed into a particular way of living. That’s why I’m so drawn to music, it changes my way of living and gives me hope and a deep sensation of the force of life. Spatially influencing your surroundings for yourself and for others can have a similar effect of illuminating the human spirit, and meaningfully affect ways of living. The meaning is to participate in artforms that can produce a surety that life is a deep, spiritual and loving process.

Personally, I still feel music is the most consistently powerful of all artforms to move me. Nothing else can do that with the frequency music does, I’ll never leave it for that reason.

It’s sometimes strange and alienating to exist in a time when dehumanization is flourishing, as we prioritize technological fetishism and optimize systems towards techno feudalism. The People, the water, the soil, the plants, the animals are all suffering.

For me this song is about carrying on, having faith in the face of all this. Remembering that as long as we are in the body, we always have a home and the ability to affect life around us for the better.
