about

"I’m always looking for ways to challenge myself as an artist and songwriter. Sometimes that curveball move which puts you outside of your comfort zone leads to an amazing discovery, and I love experiencing that.

Because Memory Girl (the album) is so rooted in my own story and memories, I wanted to ask my fans for theirs - for inspiration, for something more that felt exciting and inclusive.

What I received from them was above and beyond my initial expectation, I was in truly awe of some of them. The one that resonated with me the most a man’s story about growing up with his twin sister, growing apart, growing together again through life.

I really connected with it because it made me think of my own family, parents, grandparents - how they were when they were young and travelling through life in their own stories, growing up. It also felt like a continuation of the album - which has themes of mirroring, and twin imagery. I was so connected to it that when I came to write the song it made me very emotional.

There is real weight attached to creating work around someone else’s story, and I wanted to celebrate and respect that. I’m really proud of the song and production."

lyrics

I can still see you smiling in that blue dress
Growing up together, what a beautiful mess
I know we don’t always see eye to eye
But you’re still my partner in crime

Growing up ain’t easy, in time
You forget that you were a child

Running free
Sweet sixteen
Remember you’re alive
Take my hand
The future’s in the past
Come to me I’ll be your memory girl

I can still hear you laughing when we’re fighting
Growing up together but with separate friends
I know we don’t always see eye to eye
But you’re still the punch to my line

Growing up ain’t easy, in time
You forget that you were a child

Running free
Sweet sixteen
Remember you’re alive
Take my hand
The future’s in the past
Come to me I’ll be your memory girl

Running free
Sweet sixteen
Remember you’re alive
Take my hand
The future’s in the past
Come to me I’ll be your memory girl

Come to me
Sweet sixteen
Remember you’re alive
Take my hand
The future’s in the past
Come to me I’ll be your memory girl
