Trying to forgive and move on. As a minimum, these days, resilience is the thing that you need more than ever, certainly as a musician.

Perhaps the lyrics do touch a bit on what we’ve been through.”Speaking to NME about the track, guitarist and singer Jez Williams said: “We were always obsessed with Northern Soul, and we wanted to write our version of a cinematic Northern Soul song.

Jimi wasn’t around so Andy and I took the vocal duties on that one.“We just wanted to go for a really wide panoramic, filmic sound.
