Take Me Back is the title track from my latest EP, and really the central theme of the project. This song means so much to me and has become a pretty significant marking of a chapter in my life too. There isn’t much I need to add that isn’t already told through the lyrics. I sometimes describe my songs as ‘prayers set to music’ and each song I release is a genuine prayer of my heart. In the time since this song was released I’ve already seen some answers to the prayer. After a long and confusing season of life where I’ve been unearthing questions I was too scared to ask for most of my life. Some days I have felt as close to God as ever, and others I have felt lost and confused. Life just seemed to be getting more and more complicated and I longed to return to the simplicity of my youthful relationship with God. What I’ve experienced since then I can only describe as a ‘restart’. Going back to the foundations and relearning the basics of the gospel all over again.

I had the honour of working with the team from Salt Studio on this project. They have become dear friends of mine since meeting them in Korea, and I was so delighted to be able to shoot some of these scenes with them last time I was there. We spoke about the song and its meaning and I left the rest in their capable hands. Their ability to explore concepts through visual art and tell stories through the simplest of details really stands out to me. I’m so delighted with what they were able to capture and convey in video form, for this song.
