Holly Humberstone - Scarlett (Official Video)
  3:16

My debut album ‘Paint My Bedroom Black’ is out now and I’m so excited that it’s finally yours. Get the album — https://hh.lnk.to/PaintMyBedroomBlack

This track is my absolute fav, it’s a f*ck you to the guy that was going out with my bestie Scarlett and was written as they were breaking up. The relationship was totally one sided Scarlett was all in & had pretty much planned their future & it was pretty clear to me that he was stringing her along until breaking up with her in a really insensitive and heartless way. I was her closest confidant and so I knew everything she was feeling, and i'd see how passive he was with her at parties first hand. She vented to me for probably about a year and so I went through all the stages of a break up with her and watched as she slowly realised her worth and that he wasn’t worth her tears anymore I wanted to write this one from her point of view. It’s a pretty positive song as it’s about her finally letting go, realising his many faults and taking back her life

I rly love the video for this track too, obviously the song is about Scarlett so she had to be in the video - especially after being named an ‘emotional grim reaper’ lol. The two of us break into an airport hanger, steal and spray paint an arctic truck, then I perform on the back of it as Scar drives it down the runway. It was honestly the most fun and so jokes. I was clinging on as I was being thrown about. If u look closely the guitar I throw off the truck is the same one from my very first video for Deep End and the banners were at my London shows at Omeara !!!! I really hope it feels as empowering to watch as it did to be on the back of it performing!! Loved how ironic the bad British weather line is when we got the nicest sunset going for the video. Hopefully u enjoy it xxxx

Lyrics

You said darling “Will we go the distance?”
Such blissful ignorance couldn’t hit more like a bolt from the blue
And hate me, if you’re gonna hate me
But just say it plainly with everything lately I just need the truth

We go together like bad British weather on the one day I made plans
So go hell for leather and know that it’s out of my hands
Go ahead now

Cos I cried all the summer away
Oooh you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now I’m drunk and screaming your name
Oooh Oooh Oooh and I will show myself out
Oooh Oooh Oooh I know I adore you, I don’t need you now

I said darling “will we go the distance?”
As I stood there pouring my heart out with you just completely unfazed
And you said “Scarlett I don’t need to be responsible for everything you’re feeling
Your emotional grim reaper I feel bad for you
I can’t entertain these games, hate to rain on your parade
It’s just the way I’m feeling
It’s just the way I’m feeling

Cos I cried all the summer away
Oooh you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now I’m drunk and screaming your name
Oooh Oooh Oooh and I will show myself out
Oooh Oooh Oooh I know I adore you, I don’t need you now

Cos I cried all the summer away
Oooh you left me waiting on a heartbreak
I just cried all the summer away
Now I’m drunk and screaming your name
Oooh Oooh Oooh and I will show myself out
Oooh Oooh Oooh I know I adore you, I don’t need you now
