Long Way Down - Commentary

Long way down
Feels like a long way down

'The track was written when I was out,
one of the first times I'd been to London by myself
I sat at this party and I sat on a rooftop
and I remember looking down over this ledge
and it was quite an open ledge at the top of this party
I remeber being really overwhelmed by it just fear of heights,
the obvious fear of looking over a edge like that
but just a feeling that ressonated in me,
but it summed up a lot of feelings that I felt while I wrote this album,
and this didn't become clear until I started recording the album.

I guess we're always on a ledge like this,
and there's a lot of ways to fall all the time,
and that's what the song's about,
and you should give yourself something,
there's always a long way down and a lot to lose.

The meaning of the song summed up a lot of the songs on the album,
and when I recorded it it just felt so right.'
