IMPORTANT: the guitar here is precious to me - it’s played by my good friend and classmate Jonathan Rumbold who passed away last year. I had to include his guitar on here for the preview so you can hear it along with the acapella on file xx

The files are dry xx

Thank you for listening in advance!!

We were in the same Songwriting course with in ICMP London.

He finished the course and got the Outstanding Songwriter Award - but didn’t get to graduate with us.

He has always encouraged me to put my songs out there and believed in me with fervour and helped me and everyone who asked for it through all of our three years together. He was like a father figure to me.

I know he’d be delighted to know that I am finally sharing our work together.

the story is long, the lyrics are below.

the person I wrote this about - I feel I’ve forgiven now (except for the annoying fact he never returned my tempur pillows and mattress that were gifted by my crazy friend!)

it’s interesting to hear your headspace and voice way way back then and the frustration you felt and knowing you’ve left that completely xx

white hot lie
tell yourself you’re fine
another alibi
go ahead and hide

you can’t just run away
it’ll catch you by your tail one day
soon you’ll beg for me to stay

mark my words tonight
I’ll let you see me one more time
ooooooh

you think you can control the sky?
watch me as I fly

she’s perfect
the perfect alibi
the truth is in your crime
does she know that it’s a lie

just say goodbye
let’s call it a tie
from blue skies
down to blood red eyes

repeat PC

now watch me
now watch me
watch me as I fly
