“I’m done with you scaring me.” A striking, self-released single for a Sunday by the London musician and producer, born into a lineage of vicars and church leaders, but here candidly addressing the cause of his drift from Christianity in his own passionate address. Coke is still influenced by his sacred musical upbringing, with choral music and huge cathedral-reverb vocal harmonies dominating the backing vocals of his songs, as well as other artists including Sufjan Stevens, Bob Dylan, Young Fathers and Low.

You shadow in a span of a cross
More wings than you need to fly
And when all my friends are gone
I know you’ll be waiting
And if you were flesh and blood
Arms would wrap around you
Intertwine with your body
But I know that you’re out of time
I want to reach out and hold you
Talk to me in your house, oh lord
Never out in the open
Fucking tell me where you’ve been
And I’m more than just angry
Terrified, lost, and confused
Make me scream in the shadows
On a hill in the shade of the cross
Burn me and make me your words
I’m done with you scaring me
So simple that I’ve lost my mind
You must know that you’re out of time
He will kiss me and call my name
No messiah in this place
But when a cave is left to think
It will always become a mine
It’s a faithless
Dying
Moment
I think its way too late
Oh lord -
I am not dead
