about

After reading ‘Last Child in the Woods’ by Richard Louv, Flo was fascinated by the act of playing. This track explores aspects of her own childhood growing up in the 90s, in a house surrounded by woods in North London where she spent much of her time playing. ‘Back In Time’ is written about children today, looking back to past generations when playing outside was the norm. The video flips from reality to animation, with a nostalgic sense of time passing and the use of the minds imagination as a place of refuge.

lyrics

You put your hands over mine
But we were still afraid
Wearing your breath as you sighed
But we were still afraid
But we were still afraid

We're young oh we're going back in time
When we were going out to play
We're young oh we're going back in time
We lived with an innocent rage

Hand over mine as we paved
Then we would sleep
Cooked up the chaos that we made
Then we would eat
The futures closing in but we found shade
But we were still afraid
But we were still afraid
But we were still afraid

We're young oh we're going back in time
When we were going out to play
We're young oh we're going back in time
We lived with an innocent rage

We will stay close together
Could of had fun forever
No now we're not afraid

We're young oh we're going back in time
When we were going out to play
We're young oh we're going back in time
We lived with an innocent rage

We're young oh we're going back in time
When we were going out to play
We're young oh we're going back in time
We lived with an innocent rage
