“your heart is my home”
Still Here was written as a love song, but the meaning of that love has evolved over time.

It is a love that has expanded to embody appreciation, admiration, friendship and warmth towards anyone and everyone: the love for your family, for a top pal, or for that nice cat you met the other day.

It is the love of returning to the place you call home, the place where you belong and where you can feel most at ease. A place where no-one will judge you even for wearing your silliest socks.

It is the love for our own home, and the room that we have fashioned into a music studio: our cosy little space that we have experimented and created in for endless hours. The space that we wrote, recorded and arranged every single thing you can hear in Still Here.

It is also a love that has grown into a heartfelt gratitude for everyone that has supported us so far in so many wonderful ways, big and small. Thanks for being still here!

“do i tell you enough?”
Still Here was almost a year in the making and we have a lot of people to thank for their support and patience.

Callum Given, the wisest and smiliest, for lending us his ears and sharing his glowing words of encouragement.

James Rushworth, the jazziest man in the North, for his fine-toothed comb of insight and a steady reassurance that everything was sounding as it should.

Charlie’s mum and dad for their rousing motivational talks at times of doubt, their invaluable advice at any hour of the day and an incredibly reliable taxi service. But most importantly of all, their outstanding attendance record and boundless enthusiasm as they call for “one more song”!

Jake’s mum and dad for their continual support in any and all aspects of life: musical, visual or otherwise. And lending us a wonderful space to perform in—and of course for feeding Mango halfway through that very concert.

“be still with me”
We hope you love the song. If you take one thing from it, then text a friend you haven’t seen for ages, call your mum and take time to tell everyone you love that they are pretty great. Also, make xylophones out of wine glasses (2:10). That’s fun too.

For Geoff the tortoise and Mango the cat.
