Romy by Vic Lentaigne
Romy will play Coachella this weekend.
Romy has unveiled another solo track, this one entitled Enjoy Your Life.
The latest hook up with Fred Again.., it was also co-produced by XX bandmate Jamie and Stuart Price, and was inspired by the Glenn-Copeland line ‘My mother says to me enjoy your life’:
“Those few words felt like the most simple and disarming sentence. Ever since I was 11, I’ve been aware of and drawn to the phrase, life is short.”
I’ve felt inspired by people who I’ve seen react to this by trying to see the positives in life, even when things are going wrong and times are hard. As much as I’d love to naturally be one of those people, I’m not always able to do this myself and often get in my own head and my own way, so sometimes a reminder goes a long way.
“Glenn’s lyrics were a direct connection to what had been a very quiet private thought. It resonated especially deeply as it is because of my mum passing away when I was 11, that this perspective on living life was even a part of me.”
“I hope this song celebrates and shares the words that Glenn said so beautifully and my reaction to it and hopefully uplifts a dance floor along the way. I hope you know I would never want to tell anyone how to feel or to pretend to feel good when they don’t, I know how that feels.”
