about

This was the last song I wrote for the EP, and also my favourite. The last three years were full of some very big sads, and this is the song I wish I’d heard in the early months of grieving my dad. It’s a song about me, for me, and the things I struggle with when grieving. It’s about longing for a normal childhood summer, stretched out in the backseat of the car, dozing after a hot and heavy beach day, my parents in the front, telling me to rest my eyes. Writing this song felt like telling myself that it’s okay, and that I can have those things again. It’s about surrendering to sadness, and resting when you need to. I used imagery like my dusty bike and my ill-fitting hats to represent how slow, stagnant, and far away I felt. How unused everything in my life was. Nothing fits when you’re grieving. And you don’t need things when you’re not living.

And finally, it’s about my dad; “I remember everything that you ever said to me”.

lyrics

You’ve been feeling big sads
Maybe we can soothe that

I should go to bed
Go to therapy
Everything I can’t do
Call it irony
Take me to the beach where we can dip our feet
There’s nobody a cold swim doesn’t wanna meet

You can rest your eyes, sleeping in the backseat
Healing nine to five
I remember everything that you ever told me

You’ve been feeling big sads
Baby I can see that
You’ve been feeling big sads
Maybe we can soothe that

I should ride my bike, dusty in the shed
Every hat I own, it doesn’t fit my head
All the things I can’t do, hid under my bed
But I remember everything that you ever said

You can rest your eyes, sleeping in the backseat
Healing nine to five
I remember everything that you ever told me

You’ve been feeling big sads
Baby I can see that
You’ve been feeling big sads
Maybe we can soothe that

You’ve been feeling big sads
Baby I can see that
So you can rest your eyes
Come and lay your head
Healing nine to five
I remember everything that you ever said

You’ve been feeling big sads (I remember everything)
Baby I can see that (that you ever said to me)
You’ve been feeling big sads (I remember everything)
Maybe we can soothe that (that you ever said to me)

You’ve been feeling big sads (I remember everything)
Baby I can see that (that you ever said to me)
You’ve been feeling big sads (I remember everything)
Maybe we can soothe that (that you ever said to me)
