lyrics

For me I’m a very - I’m into lists a lot
So I like to tick things off a list
Go for a walk
Take some vitamins
Try and read because I’m really bad at reading
But the best thing I did
the only one that I consistently did
I would say every day I phoned a friend which was awesome
That was my favourite thing
That reconnecting

My daughter
I have missed all her birthdays, till now
This is the first time I celebrated her birthday
She's 26 now
And in my entire life I have never spent 26 days with her
When she was growing up I was travelling and I'm still travelling
First time I actually like, you know, got a chance to meet her
Be with her
These are like things which never happened before
All this never happened before

For the first time in a really long time it didn't feel like I was really missing anything
It didn’t feel like the world is in a catastrophe
It just felt like wow, you know, it's possible to be happy
If you just look for the joy
If you just look for the joy

For the first time on Sunday
I went on a picnic and I saw a waterfall
I went on a picnic with someone I really love
and we made stupid jokes and we just hung out
Drank non-alcoholic wine
and then I came home and slept
I think I got drunk either way
We had seafood and Nandos
I think got drunk either way
All of our neighbours were on their balconies
People we hadn’t like seen or talked to in years
Wishing everyone like a Happy Easter
and you could tell that people meant it
We're yelling to for other people to hear us
they're yelling like to for us to hear them
I remember sitting thinking that this is life
This is just magic, this is just magic
Everyone was very close together that night

When the lockdown start my my sister was pregnant
now he's already born and we talk every day

I did something I genuinely enjoy

I really erm

I went on a picnic with someone I really love

Erm start to enjoy every single moment with my family

Just the other day it was my cats’ birthday,
we had a little bit of a celebration there for the two of them

Er my sister gave birth on Saturday
Yeah
It’s amazing
It’s the first kid so

In my entire life I have never spent 26 days with her so this was a very good opportunity

That was my favourite thing like that
reconnecting with people

Oh we had a birthday party on Zoom
he had a cake, he cut it, he blew out his candles

I remember sitting thinking that this is, this is life, this is just magic

There was a very communal feeling um in that night
And er a great feeling of like solidarity and like, not feeling alone
Everyone was very close together that night

For the first time in a really long time it didn't feel like I was really missing anything
It didn’t feel like the world is in a catastrophe
It just felt like wow, you know, it's possible to be happy
If you just look for the joy
If you just look for the joy
If you just look for the joy
If you just look for the joy
