I wrote this song about falling in love with someone who I couldn't be with. I feel I can be seen as resentful in the song but towards the end of the song, as I'm singing, it's more of a cry for what could've been. The thought of 'what could have been' is one of the hardest heartbreaks of all. You've designed these hopes and dreams in your head with this person, and now you need to detach from them, and step back into a reality without them, when the comfort of them in your mind is a nicer place to be.

Bright is about always being at an arm's distance from someone. No matter how hard you try and show them, being so amazing, so lovely, that it’s like a spotlight is on them wherever they go. When they’re in a room, they’re so bright it’s the only thing you can see, they blind all others out of your view.

Bright (Acoustic Version)

After leaving school at 9 years old, George has used writing and performing as a way of connection. Gaining popularity in the indie genre through his ardent lyricism and attention to detail, George has played all over the UK, with multiple sold-out shows, particularly in his home town Guildford, with a growing fanbase who continue to be mesmerised by his storytelling and the way he holds every stage he stands on. George has been played on BBC Introducing, Future Hits Radio, as well as Amazing Radio. He has recently supported Pip Blom on one of the dates on their tour, and has been named as one of Hot Vox's 'Future Icons'.
Taking inspiration from Sam Fender, Arctic Monkeys and The 1975, George works with his bandmates to bring his originals to life with intricate guitar licks, and iconic drum fills, as well as delivering warming acoustic sets overflowing with heart and charm. You can hear this in his latest single ‘Meant to Be (With Me), as well as ‘Night Creatures’ and ‘Tell I Lie’. 
George wants to "create space for people to be seen, to make sure no one feels like a ghost in a room full of people". For George, this transcends beyond his gigs - through him and into his following, he shows that these feelings can be universal. "No one deserves to feel invisible"
