Featuring his vocal work on the track, he pairs this with a swirling, emotive soundscape which acts as the musical equivalent of being deep in thought, with bags of passion to go with it. Not just another one of his incredible tracks though, there’s a long backstory that goes with it, which Fred again.. took to Instagram to share, alongside a post of him singing the lyrics from the track.

‘I really like the line ‘you will always shape my life, and I’m tryin to make that fine’
Like cos that’s 99% of what it is to me. I think when your [sic] confronted by something heavy, there’s like the first bit where it’s all loud and chaotic, like right up in your face constantly affecting you. But in some ways I don’t mind that phase because it’s so obviously right in front of you. Like you can see it. You can see what’s controlling you. So that’s less scary to me. […] I guess the scariest thing about that phase to me is it could last forever. The phase of the thing jus [sic] subconsciously affecting your every thought. I think that’s why I like that line. Because I am jus tryna [sic] to make that fine.’
