about

I Float is finally out in the world, after existing as a demo since 2020, it found its perfect form as I worked it through this winter after getting my hands on a synthesiser I bought from Modema, it provided what the song needed. I Recorded it at my house, in a suburb in Manchester this is the first tune I engineered and produced by myself, I'm super happy its finally out in the world.
Shout out to Joel Anthony Patchett on the mix duties.
Big thanks to Miles Russell-Stracey on Master duties for both of the I Float releases.

I like hands, I think you've got to keep them busy all the time otherwise you'll let the morbes in gotta keep busy and keep moving, thats kind of why this song exists at all so I thought it was quite appropriate.

lyrics

I float
I said I float
Float on through until the day is new
just slightly above the floor
Its an automatic reaction
I carry out a load
I carry out a large fraction of my actions suspended
Upended above the ground.
Not in control of when
Not even sure why
I float that is
Unable to control it
Above and bellow
The flow
I drift
I float
The memory came faint and cold
of a story I might have told
a story in the likeness of my life
I mean
Without the courage to end
Or the strength to go on.
