Catchy, candid, cathartic indie-grunge-pop by the British singer-songwriter from Cumbria in a melancholy but oddly uplifting emotional work-through of depression, love and exhaustion, out now on TAMBOURHINOCEROS.

I’ve been sad for most the year
Quit two jobs, quit drinking beer
Grew tomatoes in the yard
Forgot to pick them, they went bad
Got a nosebleed on the bus
I didn’t wanna cause a scene
So I got off and I walked
Blood dripping into my socks
I don’t wanna talk about it
I try to pretend like I don’t give a shit
I’ve got nothing to lose, nothing to prove, nothing to do
I just wanna forget it
I don’t wanna feel so down
I don’t wanna be a sad, sad clown
Got nothing to lose, nothing to prove
I just wanna forget it
I don’t wanna feel like this, I don’t wanna feel like this
I don’t wanna feel like this, I don’t wanna feel like this
I got mad at myself today
For all the things that I don’t say
All the people I can’t please
But I don’t care anyway
I guess I’ve been trying
Spent the whole year justifying
Why I am the way I am
Why I cancelled all the plans I made months ago
Now I’m in bed scared of getting sad again
I don’t wanna feel like this
No, I don’t wanna feel like this
I don’t wanna feel like this, I don’t wanna feel like this
I don’t wanna feel like this, I don’t wanna feel like this
I don’t wanna feel like this
Ice cream brain freeze
Dream adjacent
Lost my mind and lost my patience
I’m on the mend, I’m doing better
Things just feel bleak in November
Ice cream brain freeze
Dream adjacent
Lost my mind and lost my patience
I’m on the mend, I’m doing better
Things just feel bleak
I don’t wanna talk about it
I try to pretend like I don’t give a shit
I’ve got nothing to lose, nothing to prove, nothing to do
I just wanna forget it
I don’t wanna feel so down
I don’t wanna be a sad, sad clown
Got nothing to lose, nothing to prove
I just wanna forget it
I don’t wanna feel like this, I don’t wanna feel like this
I don’t wanna feel like this, I don’t wanna-
