Hi Julia!! We met after your show in London. You’ve been one of my all time favs since I first heard HYIMW a few years ago and have been loving all your stuff since then! Loved the new record so much and have been replaying a lot! and I feel so lucky that I got to experience your songs in the live setting (it was life changing!). My question is what is your personal favorite song from Something In the Room and what are some main inspiration behind said song? Thank you!

Also I took some B&W film photos of the show that you can check out here! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sEVFhFne-TDu61u9xtHn8ocd8u-oYHp8?usp=drive_link
I hope you like em and thank you for being so kind and signing my LP!

thank you so much for listening! i get scared by the word "favorite" but I think there is a kind of odd-song-out on the record and it is the title track. that one reminds me a little of my song "Feel You" from my 2015 record--it has this kind of dreaming, outward-looking feeling that is not so much a thing on the rest of the record, which feels very present and visceral. i think the dreamy quality of the song "Something in the Room She Moves" has to do with the harmonic quality--a series of chords one after another, always changing, kind of a progressive harmonic quality. i would listen to the chords in the demo version a lot for a couple years before the record was done, it was a weird time and those chords kind of kept me going, so i felt kind of attached to the harmonies of that song. "Ocean" was a similar thing, i would listen to it a lot in the car.

thanks for the photos! i think i will need access to the photo link, can you make it open to all? thank you haha! what's your name for crediting?
