about

I wrote a track whilst wearing a Frog Hat wthinking about my future. It was recorded right before a dark time in life and helped to bring me back out of a hole 🥺. I hope you like it!

lyrics

I'll put London on a pedestal
Climb the shard to get a better view
I know it's gonna be hard but yeah I better do it
A lot of thunder in these clouds but I will weather through, uh

I can't wait for all the interviews
Till they're asking me what's gotten into you, uh
At least I know just where I'm going to, yeah
Just gimme a minute yeah I'm telling you, sing

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala

Spent a lot on stuff I have to say
At least I ain't got student loan I need to pay today, yeah
I got my blanket with some lemonade
And this the kinda song that comes to chase the rain away

I can't have picked a better day
I'm in my room making tunes that make me levitate
Mmm
I'll eat the chicken then I'll meditate
Music bumping never wonderin' what the neighbours say

Like ooo, that's my style
I ain't a beginner you can pree my bio
Like ooo, that's my sound
Feel it in your spirit let it free your mind
Like ooo, feel that now
Summer type of heat like we were pre-lockdown
Like ooo, that's my style and that's my sound, yeah

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala

Rain rain go away
Can't you see I'm tryna make a throwaway
It's late late, so late
Tryna make a song before the Soleil
Comes down, in my lounge
Moonlight language in my fountain pen
I'm waterfalling down the Thames
This lunar lighthouse found me again

Thought I was sad but no that wasn't the case
Tried to face a problem with a confident face
And then I wrote thinking of a positive place
But left-handed the ink just goes all over the page

I write music then I hope and I pray
That maybe you can understand me when I talk on a tape
I never know if you see you in stuff I pour on a page
But that's the beauty of the music man I'm walking on faith

Like ooo, that's my thing
I can push the energy with stuff I bring
Like ooo, when I sing
Chakra of the throat when I raise chin
Like ooo, highlight bit
Big part of the song on my MJ shh
Like ooo, I like this, yeah, I like this yeah

Lalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalalala
Lalalalalala

I'll put London on a pedestal
Climb the shard to get a better view
I know it's gonna be hard but yeah I better do it
A lot of thunder in these clouds but I will weather through, uh

I can't wait for all the interviews
Till they're asking me what's gotten into you, uh
At least I know just where I'm going to, yeah
Just gimme a minute yeah I'm telling you
