"I'm getting old and I need something to rely on." It has become a modern folk song about connection and nature. Grand, sweeping and unforgettable.

A dark, emotional ballad. The title refers to hospital patients who lie so long they take the shape of the bed. It's about someone left behind while the other becomes successful. The synthesizers in the chorus sound like a crying choir. The stop-motion video reinforces the sad, bizarre atmosphere.

The feeling that the world around you is changing and you're standing still. "Everybody's changing and I don't feel the same." A universal theme of growing up. The bass line and synth-like piano create a mood of melancholy. Chaplin's voice sounds lonely and pure. A song that touches everyone who has felt left behind by time.

A song about the frustration of a relationship that won't work, but you can't leave. "This is the last time I say it's the last time." The piano intro is recognizable and melancholic. It captures the circle of quarreling and making up perfectly. A bittersweet pop song that is painfully relatable.

A driving song about identity crisis and not knowing who you are. The piano plays a compelling rhythm that carries the whole song. Chaplin sings with desperate urgency: "I don't know where I am." The energy is high and the melody is catchy. A powerful track that always brings fireworks live.

A nostalgic look back at their childhood in the seaside town of Bexhill-on-Sea. It's an ode to the place they come from and the dreams they had there. The melody is wide and open, like the sea.
