Portra 400

about this song

“I wanted this song to feel like the end credits rolling down on one of those coming-of-age films, like Dazed and Confused or The Breakfast Club. Euphoric, but capturing the bittersweet sentiment of the record. Making rainbows out of something painful. Paul [Epworth] added so much warmth and muscularity that it feels like you’re ending on a high. The song’s partly inspired by Just Kids by Patti Smith, and that idea of relationships being dissolved and wrecked by people’s unhealthy coping mechanisms.” - Arlo Parks via Apple Music
