about

I wrote Little Sun as an act of surrender - I had to admit to myself that I'm a headless chicken! It felt really good to lay it all out. All my desperation to do better & be better in life caught up in this dark, introspective moment. I was living in London & working in a coffee shop. I felt quite powerless - having no plans for the future. It all kind of felt like a time bomb. I wanted to get away from it all - to live in a garden, or the sea! I had this big realisation that we're all winging it, all the time, haha. How can you prepare for the future when you don't know what it's going to look like? Many of our anxieties come from the fact that we project our subconscious into something that doesn't and will never exist. Writing Little Sun really helped to take the pressure off 'finding my way' in life. I allowed myself to express those thoughts and feelings, and felt better because of it.

lyrics

I live in a small town
These walls are all around me
I can hardly take it anymore
I think I need the city
I think that it could help me
When all it really has are bigger walls
How do I shake these awful thoughts?

Now I live in the city
And walls are all around me
Maybe I should just live in the sea
At least I would be floating
'cause all I really know is
There is not a reason why I'm here
I guess I'll search for a career

Though little sun comes through my life
I believe that if I stand and fight
It will lead me to a brighter day
Though little fight is in my bones
We should never have to stand alone
Some people care and some people don't

I think I'll find a garden
A place to play some cards in
Wouldn't that be something for the soul
Grow a pretty flower
I'd never have to shower
Living there would always be a dream
Although I've never planted seeds

Though little sun comes through my life
I believe that if I stand and fight
It will lead me to a brighter day
Though little fight is in my bones
We should never have to stand alone
Some people care and some people don't

Passion on my mind I must be crazy planting seeds
Wandering around wearing my heart upon my sleeve
Looking for someone to help the clouds start tumbling down
We'll hitch a ride and leave this town
While everybody settles down

Though little sun comes through my life
I believe that if I stand and fight
It will lead me to a brighter day
Though little fight is in my bones
We should never have to stand alone
Some people care and some people don't
