I wrote the lyrics to “swim” on a beach in India pretty much in one go. It was a full moon I woke up suddenly overcome with a deep sadness and used writing to get the feelings off my chest. I wasn’t planning to rhyme or to write a song - it was just a stream of consciousness. Healing isn’t linear and “swim” addresses that both in terms of content and form. After all these years I‘m still so grateful to have art as a form of alchemy. Stringing together my vulnerability with an unusual mix of sound to create a song that makes me wanna dance and celebrate.
