Talking about the track,Hannah said: “I wrote this song as a bittersweet mantra for someone close to me and since then, it seems to have also become my own tune to lift me out of troubled moments. A constant reminder that no matter what life throws at you, to not forget about the ones who will always care, the ones who are standing waiting to welcome you back, the ones who will forever look after you and say simply, they love you. At the end of the day, that’s all that matters, caring and being cared for. Yet to love and not be loved is one of the saddest things of all.”
2016 has been yet another busy year for Hannah including, collaborations with Beyond The Wizard’s Sleeve, she also features on two BBC6 playlisted singles ‘Diagram Girl’ and ‘Creation’ as well as, composing under her new synth-based, space-age alter-ego Mary Casio with an experimental piece combining analogue electronics and a 33-piece colliery brass band (which debuted to a sold out Manchester audience in May). Meanwhile The Magnetic North released their follow up LP ‘Prospect Of Skelmersdale’ in March.
