Clare and Jack throw everything they’ve got at this final track on the EP as they experience their own personal Renaissancezez (that’s a word, right?). There are choirs of angels, celestial strings, reverse reverbs that suck you into a new realm, special effects make up, and some life or death surgery. It’s all ridiculously dramatic and OTT. Enjoy.

Jack takes a trip down south, and during a breakfast at The Ivy, confesses all to Clare. Together, they channel the cringe into some new lyrics, which, they write on the back of a placemat, hoping one day it will become a museum piece. Fans of 80s music will enjoy hearing about how Jack created a classic synth-pop vibe on this catchy, upbeat song.

We blast off this celestial episode with some dodgy science about Saturn, before exploring a constellation of twinkly piano, slide guitar pitch bends and space-radio sound effects.
