Highlights of the album include ‘Grief’ an incredibly intimate and personal song, written just after the funeral of a close friend, it really sets the tone of the album. Loss, fear, helplessness and the impact of a sudden bereavement all play out with intense, vulnerable lyrics set over a beautiful soundscape.
(Not) Indestructible provides the signature acoustic-driven sound UK Craigie is most renowned for, with a haunting vocal sample that the artist uses as a springboard to discuss depression, and how easy it can be for grief to trigger a landslide of emotions.

‘You Can’t Kill Me’ is a brief reprieve from all of the heartbreak. An international collaboration with Zambian artist Thomson Nasser, this song serves as a reminder that no matter how bleak things get, how hopeless you feel and how poor your mental health is currently, there is hope.
Lamenting over a beautiful orchestra, both artists share wisdom and heartfelt emotion about their life experiences, with the song serving up as a reminder that life isn’t over, a new chapter awaits you and the importance of keeping strong.
