about

"i wrote this song during one of the lockdowns after finding a note my friend dan left me which had quotes from a poem he liked . the lyrics include bits that he wrote , and bits of things he quoted , as well as some words from me .
the song is about missing people i love and my gratitude for my friends , in particular for the warmth and vulnerability of some of the guys around me who have , probably unknowingly , shown me in practice that masculinity does not have to lack warmth to survive ." - piglet

lyrics

haven't really been documenting anything at all
i am grateful for the note you left me
haven't cried in a really long time but i feel like im close reading words you rewrote:

'when my arms wrap around you i press my heart upon the loveliness that has long faded from the world'*

it was in that van that we sang along
to our favourite garden centre** song
i know december's tough
but there is so much love in every single thing that you touch

"i hope i see you in person soon and thank you again , you're a real gem
given the lack of hugs recently i've been craving them more and more"***

'when my arms wrap around you i press my heart upon the loveliness that has long faded from the world'*

* - this is a quote from a poet called Yeats
** - this is a v good band in my opinion
*** - this is a quote from dan
