Check out Holly Humberstone’s record on New Music Friday.
The summer announcement of Holly Humberstone‘s debut album Paint My Bedroom Black came with the premiere of two of its tracks, Antichrist and Room Service.
“Antichrist is about a break up I went through a couple of years ago,” she said at the time. “I genuinely cared about this person and wanted so badly to make it work, but I knew something wasn’t right and my heart wasn’t in it.”
I knew that I was inevitably going to have to hurt the person who I wanted so much to love. At the time I wrote the song, I remember feeling like I was constantly letting those around me down.
“Like I was falling short of being there for anyone I cared about. I basically felt like the worst person in the world; like the Antichrist. I really felt that I was toxic to be around, and the guilt and self-loathing that came with that manifested itself in this song.”
