A while back, when Gus and I first talked about writing together, he sent me a bunch of ideas he’d recorded. World So Cold popped out as a great song – really catchy and cleverly constructed. He hummed and lala’d a lot of it, with the recurring phrase “world so cold” driving through it – it was about what a crap world it can be. I took it one stage further – when we are children, we can’t wait to grow up, and once we have, we realise, only too late, that it’s a cold, cold world and that there is no way back to the innocence of our youth.
I asked Emily and Daisy to sing backing vocals on the track to echo the innocence that we leave so readily behind.
