about

“I think ‘Half-lies’ is about the relationships between identity and belonging. It started in a writing exercise that Chris led at Unbound a couple of months ago. We were working on the themes of ‘heritage’ and ‘superstition’. One of the pictures that Chris used to prompt song ideas reminded me of my (recently demolished) high school. That stimulated a rambling bit of writing about how, in the crucible of high school, where we’re all trying desperately to fit in, we have to choose what parts of our heritage to reveal and what parts to conceal. What might expose us to rejection and ridicule, and what might make us OK, or even admirable? It’s all there in the first line really: ‘I knew where I came from, not where I belonged, and I sensed the danger of writing that wrong’. Looking back at that time in life from this distance (40 years later), it strikes me how strangely significant that process is in shaping who we become, for better and/or worse.” – Fergus
