This is a song about escaping - about the joy and melancholy of going 'fuck it', junking your old life, and starting again. We’re humans - we can’t help thinking the grass is greener - but there’s always the anxiety you’re just being mad - and the impossibility of recapturing what you lost.
This had to be Sugarcane’s first single - for me, it looks forward and back at the same time. It’s a song I wrote with Mr. Hudson for the Mr. Hudson and the Library album “Tale of Two Cities" many moons ago.
I’d already started playing around changing the chords into more bossa nova inversions - just for fun really. But when Antonia was round at mine, I got her to sing it - and I knew we had to do something with it. Her vocal is pure magic.
