Every night my children ask me to create a new epic bedtime story for them - complete with intrigue, death, the supernatural and plot twists - fresh from my imagination (no pressure😅). I’m always knackered at the end of the day, but manage to pull something out of the bag 😂 Then, about two weeks ago, I stumbled upon something that felt immediately compelling, true and like a place I wanted to keep returning to. The boys kept asking to return too - “Give us another chapter of The Cursed Farm!” It’s a kind of rural, folk-horror allegory. And every time I tell it, ideas just flow without effort. As soon as I’d told the boys the first part of “The Cursed Farm”, I could cinematically see it evolve in my imagination, and I realised that it actually forms the visual space for my next album 🙌. This has been such a breakthrough moment for me creatively. For months, I’ve been songwriting - but kind of waiting, for something to light the way that I know beyond all doubt is the most meaningful way forward. As ever, I had to wait for my unconscious mind to allow the fragments and themes to surface. And through the allegorical lens of this bedtime story, the pieces of the puzzle - my songs…are starting to fall into place, with a deep, universal, archetypal truth running through the core of the album. With this breakthrough, I can continue more meaningfully now with real ground beneath me…and the sense of being lost in the creative process has disappeared. 🙌❤️😊 xxx
