about

Lucy is a fictional character I guess. When I wrote Lucy, Wales had just gone into of our first lockdown, and I was personally feeling the effects of it, mentally.

One one of my friends at the time was really struggling and felt like no one understood her. So I wrote it about her, but drawing from my own experiences. Writing Lucy was my way of processing the sheer mundanity of everything that was going on (or not going on) at the time.

Lucy was recorded at Acapela Studios in Pentyrch and produced by one of my best friends, Harvey Jones (you may know him as Sonny Winnebago). It was engineered by Danny Hume at Acapela Studios, and mastered by Charlie Francis. The single artwork was lovingly painted in watercolour by my girlfriend, Alex Roberts.

lyrics

Ah, here it comes
Another bad morning has somehow begun
There’s someone outside of her window
Foolin around in the sun

She draws shut the blind,
Says “fuck the outside”, in perpetual night
The devil jumped off of her shoulder
Stood at the front of her mind

Lucy, don’t be blue

To her once a night
An angel would come and turn out the light
As sleep overtakes, she unravels
Losing her mind to the night

So Lucy, don’t be blue

The silence rained down from all over
And soaked through her sheets to her skin
If nobody’s willing to hear her
Then when will the talking begin

They’ll say “would you smile for the camera”
Or “at least look like you’re having some fun”
“And think about poor little Georgia
‘cause you’re not the least fortunate one”

But Lucy, don’t be blue
