Chillers

Listening to Delilah by Aeris Roves, I started channelling some Redbone-esq chords that cycle throughout the song. Lyrics came up about approaching a stranger in public - out of the blue - asking for a number, asking for a date or, in reality, not doing those thing because that stuff's hard. Does it even happen in real life?

Playing it off as being 'cool' while you an anxious mess on the inside, wishing you had the confidence of the movie stars. Maybe one day you'll pluck up the courage... It's just a soulmate after all. 

It's a story about me but about so many others, we all need a little push sometimes, to take a little jump, a little lion energy, one risk to change the rest of your life.

PLAYING IT COOL

When to listen: when driving, when revising, when you can't sleep, when stressed, when the sun sets, when you haven't slept, when it’s dark, when heartbroken, when walking slowly, when walking home alone, when tired, when you cant decide what to listen to and, especially, when the DJ looks like he takes requests.

When to listen: when you’re lost, when you’re locked out, on a run, in the shower, when you’re on a boat, in a cool car, on a depressing tube ride, on a happy bus ride, while cooking eggs in the morning, when at a boozy summer picnic, pouring your 3rd glass of rosé, when attempting any sort of gnar, when trying to impress a chirpse, when things aren’t quite going your way, when you miss your friends, when you can’t decide what to listen to, when the DJ looks like he takes requests (I’m serious about this one).
