This song means a lot to me. The lyrics were inspired by a strange but magical week where I felt like something or someone was telling me to keep my chin up.
I was going through a difficult breakup that left me feeling quite lost & questioning myself. In the middle of that sadness, I had a whole week of little serendipitous events that ended up inspiring the lyrics for Chimes. I felt like something or someone was looking out for me. Little signs and symbols that makes you feel like there’s a lot that we don’t understand about our connectivity, the earth talking back to you. The wind chimes that my grandfather made (he passed in 2013) , they hang at my house here in Utah, they’ve come all the way from Manchester, UK to the SW desert. They would ring even without a breeze. I imagined that he was rooting for me to move forward, to trust in things again and that the love you put out will eventually come back to you.
Thanks for listening , I hope you're enjoying the new music & that you're all well & happy out there. We can't wait to see you all soon X

Chimes A new sky full of little signs Don’t stop breathing everything that’s wild I thought I’d felt it all and I felt the rain been washed clean and dry by the sun cracks opening I think you knew and I think that you sent them Watching there from nature’s lap to sing a new call Oh lost courage, don’t wait anymore I know the way to always running I’ll be watching if you were giving up Breathe in your sighs make them chime all the sweetest notes I thought waiting, waiting wasn’t forgetting I tell myself it’s better than life regretted I feel my arms around you today I think you sent them to pick me up in that same way These softer nights are for us if you’re ready I know the way to always running There’s a tunnel ahead And there’s no light around fight as you may And if you’re coming to find it I’ll just let you down I’ll tie this away We’re always running No more blending, blending of the memory Between what was real and what I wanted it to be A sea away but we’re dancing on the same wave closing eyes to let go and new rhythms roll in You don’t have to only imagine You don’t have to only imagine The whispers say time makes you numb I know the way to always running There’s a tunnel ahead And there’s no light around fight as you may And if you’re coming to find it I’ll just let you down I’ll tie this away We’re always running I’ll be watching if you were giving up Breathe in your sighs make them chime all the sweetest notes chime, chime, chime
