“This is a song about surviving a loved one’s death and what you do with the leftovers. In 2013 a close friend of mine died and it messed me up for a really long time. It took ten years to write about it in a way that felt right, because I kept trying to articulate him and couldn’t get it down on paper. So, instead, this song is about that balancing act of honouring a life whilst also trying to hold onto little bits of it. I kept everything—notes, letters, texts, even a packet of instant flan mix he sent me once as a weird joke—but at the back of my mind is the knowledge that it’s just stuff that I’ve given power to. Souvenirs lose their meaning over time. The memory of him is really the only important thing. It’s a sad song about death but I wanted it to sound huge and final, like I’m putting something to bed.” (vocalist Lily)
