Lyrics

Can you speak a little louder
Coz i've come for some answers
But they can't be found here
When you sabotage it

I'll listen to your reasoning
But know i don't believe in it
The ways that you're planning 
To light me up and lead me on

You can play to win
Until i choose
Another way 
To another fool

I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out 

We're stuck in cycles on repeat
Why would you break it off 
When your worlds at your feet
If i clear my head with some honesty 
You say you're here to help
But you've never helped me

I'm only gonna help me

I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out

Nobodies gonna help me
I'm only gonna help me
Nobodies gonna help me
I'm only gonna help me

I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out (and i won't hold back)
I call you out

Call You Out

Three Days Late

In the winter of 2023/24 I headed to a remote studio in Cornwall to start work on the 4th EP, Rebirth. Starting the recording process of it for the 4th time, after re-writing it 5 times. Taking time away from recording music, touring and everything industry related, with the intention on not returning to music. I ended up re-writing the whole EP we had already recorded. Byegone will be the first track off the upcoming EP, Rebirth. Planning release for the end of 2024.

Coming out of a comfort zone, Wanting to push our boundaries on what we call "Cinematic ambient folk" Blending our ambient acoustic, guitars drenched in reverb with drum samples rather than conventional drums, layers of violins and arpeggiated synths, a whole new direction for me personally but a path ive been wanting to explore for a while and Byegone was the first song I started to experiment with.

I’m really excited about sharing this one, It feels like an expansion of my previous work and maturity as a musician, we all worked so hard to explore new tones of sound and production ideas, while retaining the rawness and honesty of the song. It's taken 4 years to write this track. 6 different versions, 23 mixes, 4 different producers.. it's been a real challenge but it was all worth it. Ive never been more proud of a song before and Byegone is the start of a whole new path musically. Shaping the sound of the rest of the EP. FFO RY X Novo Amor Ben Howard
