The thing that I found easiest for me to write about it, was to keep it quite broad, so you could apply those different scenarios to it.He feels as though he gave the relationship everything and she left him anyway.
Now, he just wants someone to love because he misses the way it felt with his ex. He is content, but when he meets a young mother and her family, who his wife had donated a heart to, and he gets to listen to her heartbeat again. It was written four weeks before the EPs release and Lewis insisted that it be included in the EP. I had started doing it, my album was finished and then I had just started to just kind of thrown down ideas and be like I wonder if theres anything else that I could, anything else going on in there, and thank fuck I did because the album would have bombed without it. So thank God for that But then I was just mucking about and I sat at the piano for about, I think it was about four hours or something and nothing was coming whatsoever so I hated myself for three hours and 45 mins. But then by the last 15 minutes, I just managed to get the verse, pre-chorus and chorus melody for Someone You Loved in a really short spurt. But even then, Id been at it for four hours and it was three in the morning, and I was like fuck this Im going to bed. So I recorded it and almost forgot about it for a while, and then found it again and tried to write lyrics and nothing was coming. And basically a lot of my album was completely written about an old relationship that Id had, and by this point two years after, three years actually after it had happened I didnt really care, not that I didnt care about it anymore do you know what I mean, but Id written everything I could want to write about that relationship and how it broke up. So I find just trying to write a song like that because I thought that is what people would want to hear, and I was like fuck it, I just wont do it. So cut-forward to six months after I wrote the original melodies, Im in a session with friends of mine called TMS and Romans, and were just messing about with this other idea thats very uncharacteristically for me, upbeat and very happy. And they like lets try something else, because they had that idea moving, they were like do you want to try another thing. Im thinking Im writing for songs that were going to be on that album. ![]() And yeah, it was the same kind of thing of me being, writing about that relationship that had already been, and it was like this is fucking, it just wasnt clicking. And then, I think it was one of them that said, you know you dont have to write a song about your relationship that broke up. ![]() So yeah, that for me was a light bulb moment, and one of the things I hadnt written about was people in my life who had died over the course of me making this album. So people like my grandmother had snuffed it, and a bunch of other people had popped the clogs, if you will. Yeah, even that I was kind of like, I dont really want to write a song about death, I think its very morbid. And the way I would do it, what is it, oh Im so sad someone in my family died. But for me its one of those things I wanted to write a song about loss, and the feeling of losing someone, whether that be through a relationship or bereavement, or even just as simple as your friends from school who you no longer speak to anymore because you both just grew up and grew apart. So once we started messing around with that idea, it came really quickly.
