Hello lovelies,
It just occurred to me that I could give you all an extra treat this month - a "behind the song" video that me and Simon made on tour.

Hi guys,
So the song "Ropes" was born a long time ago.
It is finally ready for your ears.
Originally this was going to be a piano/vocal/string ballad. It was going to be very empty, very stripped back and very harrowing.
