a lot of my work right now revolves around the idea of embracing chaos. We had an incredible idea for a music video for Headlights back in January, then obviously it became impossible to create it. So we embraced the chaos.
I was sent an idea from the director Tom Speers which essentially allowed me to exist in my house and simply shoot my life for a week. No grand plans or aspirations for it beyond simply capturing life in as natural and unforced a way as is possible. Myself and Emma were allowed to shoot what we wanted when we wanted, and because she was on the other end of the camera, for the first time in my life i actually looked at footage of myself and felt like i was watching a genuine representation of myself coming back at me. I'm excited for people to see that vision because it's unadorned and honest and silly in places, not curated or edited to present a vision i think you might have of me. For people who might think me opaque, like they know my music but they might not know me, what i am, or what i believe in, then this is the video for you.

Lyrics:

I adore you
Everyone else can start to leave
Fall apart like they're on the breeze
I adore you
Set on fire
Let it burn there in front of us
Flare just like chemicals
Set on fire

Has the weight of my love
Has the weight of my love
Been killing you?
I know you felt it
But never would have said it
Till you're screaming how it isn't true

Who's there for you?
Laying in the dark
Laying in the dark
As the headlights start to fade
And we kiss like runaways
What's left for you?
Keep an open mind
Keep an open mind
As the headlights start to fade
And I’m gone before you wake

Do it for me
Hold my sin like it's criminal
Lock it down like a prisoner
Do it for me
Save my number
I could be right
Lately I’ve been wrong
I could be weak
Maybe never strong
Save my number

Has the weight of your love
Has the weight of your love
Been killing me?
I know I felt it
But never would have said it
Till I’m screaming how I still believe

Who's there for you?
Laying in the dark
Laying in the dark
As the headlights start to fade
And we kiss like runaways
What's left for you?
Keep an open mind
Keep an open mind
As the headlights start to fade
And I’m gone before you wake

(When the headlights)
Have faded
Will you want to be alone with me?
(Headlights)
Have faded
Will you wonder if my hearts still beating?
I've got a feeling that it’s on your mind

Who's there for you?
Laying in the dark
Laying in the dark
As the headlights start to fade
And we kiss like runaways
What's left for you?
Keep an open mind
Keep an open mind
As the headlights start to fade
And I’m gone before you wake
