Ghostpoet has shared a disorientating video for I Grow Tired But Dare Not Fall Asleep, directed by Thomas James, and which he doesn’t want us taking literally.

“The song is about growing ever emotionally and physically tired of the circumstances you find yourself in but falling asleep or taking your eye off the ball is not an option,” he explains.

“When me and Thomas discussed the concept for this video I was in the process of moving to Berlin and with such a radical change in my life I wanted the video to reflect this also. It’s a goodbye to old Blighty and a death of sorts of the old me to make space for something new.”

This is the title-track of this year’s fifth Ghostpoet album, one which has recently had its UK tour rescheduled to 2021.

Tour dates:

February 2021
26 – SWX, Bristol
27 – Academy 2, Manchester
28 – Rescue Rooms, Nottingham

March 2021
5 – Earth, London
