Hits Like Lightning

Chained To Love

UK-Based songwriting duo Foreign Affairs return this spring with some of their most unique and
affecting work in the form of indie-folk gem ‘Maybe He Already Knows’.

The song was written shortly after their father had been diagnosed with a rare and late stage brain tumour in 2021 and sees the duo return to a more acoustic-driven production that places the importance on the emotion and message behind the song.

The opening line ‘I don’t know if they have told him, he ain’t coming home until the autumn, he waves at me through the window, maybe he already knows’ is a flashback to the brothers waving up at their dad through the hospital window in Bristol during COVID restrictions when visits were not permitted.

The new single showcases the duo’s songwriting talent in a new and evocative context, with the raw songwriting elements supported by subtle production and vocal harmonies.

Lyrics:

Let’s take a break now, 
wait now don’t you wanna see them all shake down,
shake down, pennies on the ground. 

Let’s take a break now, 
wait now don’t you wanna see them all shake down,
shake down, pennies on the..  I said, oh make a move  They all follow suite  I’m gonna roll on through  Like we own the room 

I said now, oh make a move  They all follow suite  I’m gonna roll on through  Like we own the room   Woah, rip a couple letters out my book baby,  Because I know, that you been dying just to turn a couple pages   I said woah, rip a couple letters out my book baby,  Because I know, that you been dying just to turn a couple pages   Now it’s been so long, 
Hold on, keep it straight and steady eddy,  Know that we’re the one among the many  Got us all fired up, my hearts been feeling heavy  We’ve been waiting for the moment so baby when you’re ready

I said, oh make a move  They all follow suite  I’m gonna, roll on through  Like we own the room 

I said, oh make a move  They all follow suite  I’m gonna, roll on through  Like we own the room 

I said woah, rip a couple letters out my book baby,  Because I know, that you been dying just to turn a couple pages 

I said woah, rip a couple letters out my book baby,  Because I know, that you been dying just to turn a couple pages 

I wanna say something,  Something you don’t know  We can be cold hearted  But don’t let it show So if you wanna start,  Boy you better know  That we’re a rocket in a pocket 
and we’re fired up to go. 

I said, oh make a move  They all follow suite  I’m gonna, roll on through  Like we own the room 

I said, oh make a move  They all follow suite  I’m gonna, roll on through  Like we own the room 
Yeah.
