Speaking about the track, they say: “A while ago, I fell completely out of love with music for the first time in my life. It was the strangest feeling because it has always been the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do. All the pressure and work surrounding music had drained my passion and suddenly I felt numb. I was in a loop of endless comparison, doubting myself and focusing on how small my voice felt in this busy industry. Losing touch with my lifelong love felt lonely, disorientating and left me without an outlet for my emotions.
“‘Long Lost’ is an ode to music. It was written on my living room floor in an emotional outpouring as a desperate measure to find back my passion. With some open chords and a bit of luck, it came as the most natural song and exposed all of my vulnerability in the most cathartic way.
“‘Long Lost’ was never written with the intention of it ever being heard, but its honesty and rawness felt like something worth sharing.”
Matilda Bond are going to the top – we’re sure of it.
