about

You shouldn't keep it to yourself is King's Horses fourth single. The song deals with anxiety and not having the ability to say what you really want too, no matter how important or profound it may be. With more and more people raising mental health issues, this seems the perfect time to be talking (singing) about it.

Wavy, worn guitars meets fond, warming keyboards, tape delays and an electronic hum. Think Golden Daze meets Included on the BBC introducing playlist of the year 2018

lyrics

My cue to speak, long gone, long gone
the gold was in the sheets, long gone, long gone
I could have been a god, long gone, long gone
why can't I spit it out, oh well, oh well

You shouldn't keep it to yourself

I'll make a vow, just not now, not now
the spirit on the stairs, play it safe, just play safe
I'm bitten by the fear, my old friend, my old friend
why can't I spit it out, oh well, oh well

You shouldn't keep it to yourself
