about

Deadline: Wed 3rd June 2020

Who You Are started off as a set of verse chords I thought sounded very Elliott Smith-esque. I love his music so much but I didn't know what my 'positive Elliott Smith' song would sound like. Once again taken in a very different direction to the one I had mind by my collaborators who heard more of a Fleet Foxes by way of Grizzly Bear vibe. Very happy with how it ended up. Lots of lovely little touches and I'm especially pleased with some of the leftfield production choices I've made with the arrangement.

It's a very personal set of lyrics. The journey is one I've taken. With every passing year I become just that little bit more comfortable with who I am so it seems fitting that I should release this two days before my birthday.

Phase One is over soon. Only a couple more songs of this album left to record.

lyrics

Fuck a doodle do, What is wrong with you?
You permanently transmit
It’s the mouth it comes out of, It’s the head it goes in
Listening through la-di-da ears

I tried to bury it in an unmarked grave
I had them salt the earth
I had the graveyard paved
I chartered a ship and sailed away
I changed my face, I changed my name

Embrace who you are
You don’t have to run far
Away from yourself
I know it’s fun being someone else
Embrace who are x2

It’s meticulous
I’ve been sculpting this
Exquisite chocolate teapot for years and years
Cross my eyes and dot my teeth
Now dressing up and playing make believe
Seems a bit old hat to me

I tried to bury it in an unmarked grave
I had them salt the earth
I had the graveyard paved
I chartered a ship and sailed away
I changed my face, I changed my name

Embrace who you are
You don’t have to run far
Away from yourself
I know it’s fun being someone else
Embrace who are x8
