Freefall

“Freefall” is about uncertainty and the feeling of not knowing what will happen next. My friend and collaborator Imogen “Ginny” Danbury and I sat down on my floor in my flat and started thinking about all the things we were scared of happening, and what we wanted in the future. We came up with the first line, “eat well and do better, that’s the motto for life,” and then got into the flow of it, each contributing how we felt about the uncertainty of the future and how our past could affect how we see it.

The production and instrumental of the song are very stripped back, with just acoustic guitar and some light drums, because it felt like the song needed to be very vulnerable and minimalistic.

Collaborating on this track helped me learn that not every creative decision can be forced quickly. Some parts of the song needed time, and working around other people’s schedules made me more patient with the process.
