about

Along with Fable Gazers podcast company, we've been reflecting on the importance of art in making our lives better. How can creativity and the art you love enrich your life? Do you take it for granted? If you're a creative person yourself, sometimes finding others to work with can help you to take a half-formed idea and realise it more fully.

Likewise, when you're feeling too close to a project, a collaborative partner can sometimes see things you can’t. This song explores the idea of leaning on someone else and how that can make everything seem just a little bit easier.

Please share this song if you like it, as it helps more people to find us. Look out for the podcast 'This Art May Save You' from Fable Gazers and follow us on Twitter @sstarlings Insta @scarlet_starlings

lyrics

Better together

Heavier air swamps me
Tidal pool sadness brings me low

Waves of doubt crash on me
Confidence washed out

Of me
Of me

And it’s all gone so wrong
Tonight

If you take me down
          Take me down
If you take me down
          Take me down
If you take me down
          Take me down
If you take me down
          Take me down

Wait a while for my brain to catch up
Doing my laces
Tying up
Loose ends
Ends

Grey around the edges
Nothing as clear as it once was
Static buzz
Static fuzz

And it’s all gone so wrong
Tonight
Tonight

If you take me down
          Take me down
We'll feel better together
                          better together
If you take me down
          Take me down
We'll feel better together
                          better together
If you take me down
          Take me down
We'll feel better together
                          better together
