This is the first official Vik Whistle studio track ever released. Beginning with a simple synth refrain, drum break and unsure vocal melody, it evolved into collaboration with my partner LOLA who took a liking to the hook and one night requested to read a quickly jotted poem in the break.

Pieces of the song finished before others, bouncing back and forth to inform and inspire other parts, only to circle back around and change the original idea. Included in this was the impromptu one-shot video, that gave the song its playful relation to swings. This was followed by a 2 week long hurling of my body off the highest point of any swing in my vicinity (a joy so nostalgic and therapeutic, it almost outweighed the sprained ankle and tweaked shoulder it came with).

Every time someone has asked me what the song is about thus far, I've had a completely different answer based on how I'm feeling just then. I suppose if it can have so many different meanings to even the person who wrote it with a specific intention, then what good does it do to try and fill your head with one. I'll leave it to you.

Thanks for listening.
