A romantic indie song that details the breakdown of a relationship and the acceptance that follows. It’s ‘bittersweet’.
The song encapsulates a nostalgia – living “in the silent film of what has been” – and examines the bittersweetness of a breakup. It’s about the acceptance of becoming a stranger to someone you once shared everything with. It was recorded on tape and has a 1970s style of production which alongside the string countermelodies and incredibly personal lyrics, adds to this feeling of nostalgia. Think indie breakup film like ‘Submarine’ but condensed into three minutes of music.”
