Swimming | Sunny Aspect Down

I wrote Swimming final 12 months after I began full-time work and was overwhelmed by how little time I needed to myself, and subsequently how little time I needed to write songs. I felt like the posh of feeling issues intensely and placing it to phrases (in nevertheless a lot time that took) had been stripped away from me.
As a treatment to the nervousness and overwhelm, I began swimming once more. Moving my physique in water and feeling the heaviness of the water on my lungs took the stress away from my mind and jogged my memory that I had a physique able to taking over and relieving a few of the stress.
I longed for one thing calmer and I constructed that world up round me, beginning with swimming.
