Lyrics: 

Home at 12, you’d been drinking
Not myself, too much thinking
Deep breath in like a baby in the bed
Going through the seasons in my head

Oh, oh

And though I can understand your reasons
It doesn’t make us even
Just complicates these feelings

So keep me in, keep it under wraps
So hide me like we are under attack
No I won’t doubt it, I’ll shout it wherever I go
Cause I just I just I just want them to know

Say you’ll sell me something sweet to savour
You’ll occupy all flavours, and stay up with me later
Crazy that I wasn’t able to tell you at the table
Cause my tongue was tied

Oh is it enough to satisfy me?
I want you to see me cry here underneath the night
When you’re holding me so tightly
I feel that I could die here
So why the need to find me a place where no-one goes?

So keep me in, keep it under wraps
So hide me like we are under attack
No I won’t doubt it, I’ll shout it wherever I go
Cause I just I just I just want them to know

Keep me in, keep it under wraps
So hold me, fold me into your mind
Please, show me you know me, I wanna be kind
And I won’t doubt it, I’ll shout it wherever you go
Cause I just I just I just want you to know

So keep me in, keep it under wraps
So hide me like we are under attack
No I won’t doubt it, I’ll shout it wherever I go
Cause I just I just I just want them to know

I Just I Just I Just Want Them To Know

Shower holder backstory: I found a shower holder in my dad's garden 3 years ago. The shower holder's sound is inharmonic, so I've found it interesting to make music exclusively with it. The creative limitation has unlocked lots of ideas I'd not heard before, it's been so exciting to think about the cultural baggage of musical instruments! In April 2024 the shower holder had its live debut, after being selected from an open call to play at Niche (a wonderful experimental event in London). 

Track recording process: For this song, each layer was recorded at a different speed, then each was slowed down, so that the separate layers are at different pitches. For the lowest bass note, the entire song was recorded in 6 seconds, then slowed down to fill the full 2 minutes 49 seconds! When all assembled together, the notes create a melody. The slowing down also allows us to hear partials from above the audible frequency range. Then there's some freehand microtonal pitchshifting on top.
