13. Anchor

This week’s song is a low-light, late-night, quiet old thing, perfect for turning up loud and spacious inside a pair of really good headphones.
It’s about those moments when you can see someone you care about descending into a mire, into their heads, away from the world and stuck – it’s terribly hard but at the same time, you’ve got to try and coax them back out.
Sometimes you need to say, don’t become glued to darkness, don’t decide to stay down, don’t go away from the world to a spot where no one can reach you; don’t anchor there.
Sometimes you gotta be told to pull up anchor and set sail again.
Sure there’s sadness, but in those places there is also room for hope.
