Singer/songwriter, writing mostly alternative/indie rock music inspired by "serious" alternative artists such as Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Bloc Party and Bjork. I have a particular disdain for the stereotypical, ostentatious "sex n drugs n rock n roll" aesthetic. I much prefer to concentrate on musical development through texture, structure and harmony, than use flashy 10-minute guitar solos and riff-rock wankery.

Story behind the song
It's about a number of things that were frustrating me at the time of writing. Each verse is about something different. The chorus is from the perspective of someone telling me to get a grip and "take it easy" for a while.
Lyrics
The light, the light has gone away And there's no sign of yesterday Won't you just let it be? I don't need to calm down I don't need to smile Won't you just let it be? If this is all it takes to lose your mind Won't you take it easy for a while? If this is all you're good for Then you're no good for me Won't you just let me be? If you can't make up your own mind Then you won't make mine as well Won't you just let me be? If this is all it takes to lose your mind Then won't you take it easy for a while? You tried it once but now you've lost your mind You tried it once but now you've lost your mind If this is all it takes to lose your mind Then won't you take it easy for a while?
