about

I wrote this song craving to let myself find an ideal place in my mind far from past memories and guilt, and wanting permission from myself to love again. I was going around lacking direction and wanting validation from everyone around me, but through writing this song I realised I needed to just forgive myself from letting people down and move on. Place In Mind is a short poem that repeats through subtle reharmonisation around the home key, with a bigger, more hectic realisation moment with horns beefing it up in the middle. I really loved recording this song.

lyrics

Oh my mind’s mind my old love
I wonder what you’re thinking of
You’re up in lights I cannot touch
It’s like I think I’ve had enough

And if I had a place in mind
Would you continue to patronise
Even out of every reach
And they actually forgive

They forgive
They forgive
And I forgive myself
(My old love, place in mind)

Oh my mind’s mind my old love
I wonder what you’re thinking of
You’re up in lights I cannot touch
It’s like I think I’ve had enough

And if I had a place in mind
Would you continue to patronise
Even out of every reach
And they actually forgive
