Having a right fun time with this deliciously unhinged thing. Lemon sharp. Twists to put your back out. Takes unreliable narration up a notch. And with some pretty deep questions about authenticity and who has the right to tell whose story. Really fun. And so messy that you will never feel messy again. But there is a sweetness in there too at times which was a surprise. Five stars.

I had the absolute privilege of a lifetime being invited onto Desert Island Discs. But narrowing a life down to eight pieces of music is my NIGHTMARE. I missed out so many. I needed it to be 800 tracks. All I can tell you is that if I’d have had 4 more there would have been Hounds of Love by Kate Bush and Landslide by Fleetwood Mac and Swim Good by Frank Ocean and Coles Corner by Richard Hawley. But I went for the most specific to me and my childhood and adulthood. Swipe to hear…

Depression tried to grab my ankles this week but I said fuck you mate I don’t care you have tried it too many times you said I would be dead at 25 and I am double that and I have a book to write and it is going to be the best I have ever written and then I went for a walk in the low glowing sun on this beautiful planet and I told depression I am rock hard and ocean soft I can breathe underwater and can survive hell by sitting there on a stone because you taught me how so walk alongside me I don’t care just walk you are the one that made me strong thanks for that you made the light brighter through your contrast keep going come at me I love you I love you truly and deeply and so I smashed the glass in the old contorted bell jar and the world derealised and realised again and I broke free and saw clearly
