I don’t have the words to reply to this without sounding glib but just wanted to say I’m glad you moved out & are in a better place now. Definitely brings a new perspective to Emo T.
It's nice to compartmentalise things, to reduce the awful things in the world to things which are visible on the news, and happen conveniently far away, but I suspect many are much closer than many of us realise.
There's only one person I've knowingly been close to, who had something awful done to them. Direction of travel helped me relate to things I hadn't really had to process before, was shocked by, but beyond shock and outrage found further articulation difficult.
Part of what makes your music special is lyrics which feel very real; your experiences are yours, and certainly yours to use as musical or lyrical inspiration. If a truly awful ringpiece gets upset about identifying themselves and their reprehensible behaviour in your lyrics, they can clearly fck right off.
You may have avoided use of excited, but 2 songs in I'm excited to hear what comes next for the album, but I 'm an unashamedly excitable person.
Ha I didn't say I wasn't excited, I just want to use other words :) I'm delighted that you're excited too! And very touched that DOT was in any way helpful x
Love the song, love the video, love this badass reclaiming of self and courageous truth-telling. I salute you. p.s. you had me with the gelly roll pens in your pocket - my faves!!!
It never occurred to me that "the smoke in the house" in "Emotional Tourist" wasn't figurative. That's terrifying.
It’s weird how un-terrifying it felt. Surreal. I feel very lucky that everything was and is okay.

You never sound glib, thank you for your encouraging words x
