Heather schreef de nummers van het nieuwe album in de afgelopen twee jaar en zat vier weken op het platteland van Devon (VK), opgesloten in een studio met Chris Bond (Ben Howard) om de nummers op te nemen.
“It was mostly just the 2 of us, with Midori Jaeger coming down from London for a few days to play her beautiful cello. Out the window was a field. I would watch the light change there throughout the day. There was a rare albino pheasant that would come and go. I took it as a good sign!”
'Breath and Air', 'Ebbs' en 'Flows, Butterflies and Moths': dit zijn een paar van de titels die op het nieuwe album staan.
“The duality of nature and of being alive is something I explore in my songs. Two things can be true at the same time - that’s something I came to realise as I got older. Accepting and balancing this duality is what leads to a deeper understanding of relationships. We can’t have light without dark, we can’t have joy without pain. Simple stuff, but I constantly need to remind myself. A lot of the songs are about love and loss and longing. Repeating themes through my life - the search for wholeness, healing and meaning. I keep coming back and looking at it from different angles, through time and through music. It’s an ongoing journey that shows no sign of reaching a destination. My songs are documents of that journey”
Het album wordt voorafgegaan door de single 'Hey Poseidon', die eerder is uitgebracht, en de titeltrack, die nu uit is.
Over het liedje zegt Heather: “I often find myself awake at 4am. Sometimes it’s just worries on my mind, but occasionally songs come to me, and then I have to whisper-sing them into my voice memos on my phone. When a song comes, you have to pay attention and honour the gift, because otherwise it’s gone by morning. This one is about being misunderstood when your intentions were good. The song is about communication - how words can easily be misinterpreted and how when that happens the connection is lost. It’s about hoping the other person will remember the big picture, remember the heart, remember the trust.”
