about

Returning is about how every single person on this planet can return to their authentic, unique and beautiful self—no matter how far they might have strayed from it. Our authentic selves get trampled by education systems that want to pigeonhole us, by people who lead us to believe we're not good enough, and by our own inner critics. But it’s never too late to find our way back.

lyrics

Losing what we thought was safe
And finding what we thought escaped
We only know who we are
When things start getting hard

How can we be who we are?
How can we be real?
They say just be yourself
But I don’t know how I feel
How can we be who we are?
How can we be real?
Returning back to what’s inside
Is the only way we’ll heal

Been on the wrong path for so long
And stumbled across the right one
Got a glimpse of something real
Let go and the truth was revealed

How can we be who we are?
How can we be real?
They say just be yourself
But I don’t know how I feel
How can we be who we are?
How can we be real?
Returning back to what’s inside
Is the only way we’ll heal

The path of least resistance only leads to pain
A meaningful existence instead of all the grey
And we repeat what we’re shown and get more of the same
Let’s embrace the unknown and take a leap of faith

Show us what your made of
What are you afraid of?

How can we be who we are?
How can we be real?
They say just be yourself
But I don’t know how I feel
How can we be who we are?
How can we be real?
Returning back to what’s inside
Is the only way we’ll heal

about

James Greenfield London, UK

Thank you for dropping by! The best way of describing me is probably a multi-instrumentalist, working across indie electronic, neoclassical and dance music. I write songs on the piano and guitar and often subvert them with music production tools, creating a genre-crossing blend of traditional songwriting and electronic sounds.

I hope you enjoy the music :)
