Name: Rose by Cap Carter
Duration: 3 min 37 s
Description: I wrote this in the wee hours, blind drunk in a small apartment atop a pub in London. Finished the lyrics on the train to St Albans and recorded it in a warehouse back in Sydney with a 1920’s broken down piano. Some songs will always take you back to a particular moment, a familiar face and sometimes an inevitable goodbye. Because we’ll always have London.

Nothing Compares 2 U

Most of my songs are usually written this way - raw, bare and emotional AF. I know no other way.I originally titled this song, 'I was whole when I left home' and shortened it to 'Whole'. 

Half past three in the morning, slouched over the piano and struggling to compose myself - I wrote her a letter. I don't know the difference between Whole and Home anymore when I sing that bridge. 

'Whole'

So she wants to move out, 
I've got half a heart to leave her now
Standing there in ripped jeans, 
in the sweater I bought her last year

And you always seem to do this 
every time I get back on my feet, my feet
Hand upon my heart I'm a sucker
for your breakneck speed

I've been drowning in the love 
that you left behind
I can't remember who I was 
before you were mine
I was whole when I left home little darlin
I was gonna be somebody little darling
Singin oh oh oh
Good lord... oh oh oh

So hand me that last cold beer
And here's to all our yesteryears
Last pack of Marlboros
to light away our sorrows

And you always seem to do this
Everytime I get back on my feet, my feet
Hand upon my heart I'm a sucker
for your breakneck speed

I've been drowning in the love 
that you left behind
I can't remember who I was 
before you were mine
I was whole when I left home little darlin
I was gonna be somebody little darling
Singin oh oh oh
Good lord... oh oh oh

And whole/home I use to know
And whole/home I use to know
And whole/home I use to know
And whole/home I use to know

Whole

With just a handful of singles and a debut EP 2021’s ‘Notes’ to his name, Cap has built a genuine relationship with his fans. They have resonated with his stories of addiction, heartbreak, and personal growth as well as his dedication to communicating with them. The quick growth of his career is a testament to his ability to connect with a voice that demands to be heard. It’s powerful and textured with a lived-in experience that’s impossible to engineer.
 
His latest single ‘Sequel’ is his second release of the year following on from heartbreak anthem ‘Reasons’.
 
With a growing number of followers on TikTok (313k), Cap has amassed 10 million streams globally and 1.7 million YouTube views. This only tells part of the story, however, as he’s made it his mission to connect with fans in real life.
 
His sold-out ‘Sequel’ national tour has seen him take on his biggest venues yet. It’s been a big year of touring for Cap, beginning with a series of intimate shows all held in secret locations. He also performed in more traditional venues as part of an East Coast tour which sold out even after extra shows were added. That’s all on top of a support slot for Teddy Swims across ANZ.
