Happy Birthday to my darling Mum ❤️

Back in 2013, my friend Adam Falkner sent me a beautiful guitar piece and arrangement  of his to write to. This was my first draft, inspired by my Mother’s love which was so tangible, even through periods of separation and ill health. The song holds it meaning even more now, our love has transcended her physical passing. 💕

Adam and I later hooked up with Craigie Dodds and Nass Donald to form OK Button. This demo became our song ‘Verso’, which we released in 2019 and was featured in the TV show ‘Riverdale’. 

LYRICS:

I can hear your voice, through the cold white noise - you’re still there for me, I’m still here for you. 

I can feel your love, through this empty room - you still care for me, I still care for you.

Through it all, through the sun and the rain, through the darkest of days, through the fear and the hows and the whys, through the eyes of another - you’re my life, you’re my Mother. 

I can feel your heart, beating next to mine - I keep you close to me, but am I close to you? 

I see your eyes in mine, I smile like you sometimes - I’ll watch over you, and you’ll watch over me. 

Through it all, through the sun and the rain, through the darkest of days, through the fear and the hows and the whys, through the eyes of another.

Genuine

You are not your Father
You are not your Mother
Stop carrying their weight
Stop carrying their shame
You really aren't to blame
This is CPTSD

An alcoholic's daughter
A lamb to the slaughter
Can you still hear shouting?
Can you still hear crying? 
Can you still hear every fucking thing? 
This is CPTSD

CPTSD (Phone Memo)

Surrender takes you on an uplifting journey about finding meaning in suffering and taking responsibility over your own growth. ✨

“Wilson wrote the song following the passing of her mother and the tenderness, self-patience and grace required to weather that kind of pain informs the songwriting. After all, resilience and strength need not look and feel like some stoic and rigid approach to your own life. ‘Surrender’ feels like a catharsis through sheer emotional openness and getting through by feeling it all rather than trapping any of it in a dark place in the psyche.” - Queens City Sounds

Co-produced by Hugh Fothergill 💛
