New here? Six ways into the songs

Every LoneHero song is a small story about the quiet stuff: the things people carry without saying much. Each one has its own illustrated film that tells the story in order, beginning to end. Here’s a way in, depending on the day you’re having.

When you need someone in your corner

You Need You Too is for the mums who hold so much together: the school runs, the bills, the washing, and the kitchen dances in between. If you only play one song today, try the acoustic version.

Sit Here is about the understanding between two people who’ve been through dark times and don’t need to explain. “You don’t have to walk me through / I’ll sit here with you.”

Proud of You is for anyone who misses someone more than they let on, and is proud of them anyway.

When you’re standing your ground

I Won’t Lose My Voice: keeping the peace shouldn’t mean losing yourself. There’s a rock version and a quieter acoustic one with a female vocal.

You Don’t Get The Rest is about broken trust and boundaries. Being kind was never the mistake.

What Else Can I Give? puts people-pleasing on a neon dance floor, for anyone giving everything and still feeling it isn’t enough.

When you’re getting back up

I Got Me is afro garage for one grey morning at a time. Made For This is an afro house workout song for the alarm before the light and the night you nearly walk away, but stay. Look You In The Eyes faces the person in the mirror. Unseen is for the quiet ones who get it done without the applause. And Dreams asks the question every early alarm asks: “So what am I prepared to give / For the life I want to live?”

When you miss your people

Nowhere Else To Be is a sunny garage duet about the friends who save you a chair. When We Get There is about growing up and finding out the grown-ups were working it out too. Feel the Wind leaves before the town wakes up and drives until the road runs out at the sea.

When you’re in love

World Beyond The Phone is about putting the phone away and taking the long way home. Turn of the Year is a warm 70s soul song for the person who’s still there every season. Rewind goes back to a London summer in 2005: one Walkman, two earbuds, and a kitchen dance twenty years later.

When you just want to move

Meet Pip, the little ivory-and-gold robot. In Wake the Machine he’s switched back on in a derelict factory and heads out into the city with the music. In Turn the Page he races moon buggies, flies a dragon and swims with sea turtles.

Every song has a 30-second preview on its page, and the full film is on YouTube. If one of them lands for you, I’d love to hear which.
