New Entry: Swim School Reveal New Single "outside"

Edinburgh-based indie rock/alt/indie pop band Swim School have revealed their new single "outside".

Singer Alice Johnson explains: “Outside is based on the negative impact the toxic people have on your mental health and the moment you realise how toxic they are. It’s not until you step back from the situation, that you realise their use of manipulation such as gas lighting and dishonestly was actually destroying your mental health. It made you question everything you did and slowly ate away at your confidence leading to you being unhappy.

It’s about the challenge of finding the strength to cut toxic people out of your life and putting yourself, your happiness and your mental state first. It’s also about realising that toxic people will never change and that is not your responsibility to change them.”

New Entry: Swim School Drop New Single "Let Me Inside Your Head"

Edinburgh-based indie rock/alt/indie pop band Swim School have dropped their new single "Let Me Inside Your Head".

Singer Alice Johnson explains: “It’s about an experience I had with a loved one who was in a very dark place and had been for a long time. Them expressing what they were going through was a bittersweet moment as the relief that they were finally opening up was counteracted by the fact I couldn’t take all that pain away. 

"The line 'let me inside your head' is me asking them to express how they feel, while 'so I can feel instead' is me saying I would sacrifice my own sanity in order to do the suffering instead of them.”
