''Cancer brings both darkness and light, fear and freedom, despair and love. During my own treatment for breast cancer, I found myself in different rooms during different visits to the hospital. The verses of this song step into these rooms and capture the fear, pain, and darkness of chemo’s side effects. But the chorus shines with love and light and gratitude. It’s a thank-you, both to the medical staff who cared for me, but also to myself for being a little braver and a little stronger throughout the journey. “The Imposter” is an anthem for anyone who's ever felt the dark and the light together; anyone who’s felt fear and bravery all at the same time. ''

This was filmed at Southern Down beach in Wales in January. A few days after my father's funeral I put on his old cardigan and my high school friend Tim Stanbury and I braved the cold and shot some footage on my phone and an old camera. This place holds so many amazing childhood memories for me and fills me with gratitude, letting the light shine out into our lives.

Lyrics

Thank you for making me feel brave
when I didn’t feel brave
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again
Thank you for activating
my gratitude
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again

Room 12
black and white
spreading out
plug me in

Room 6
full of light
steady murmur
absorbing
destroying

Room 9
Touch and press
Drift and float
Lost and suspending

Thank you for making me feel brave
when I didn’t feel brave
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again
Thank you for activating
my gratitude
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again

Room 21
it’s not the first
intolerance
raw and torn

Room 9
once again
do it right
lose the frequency

Thank you for making me feel brave
when I didn’t feel brave
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again
Thank you for activating
my gratitude
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again

I’m not alone now
got my feet in the sand now
nothings getting in the way now
heading down the mountain now

Thank you for making me feel brave
when I didn’t feel brave
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again
Thank you for activating
my gratitude
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again

Thank you for making me feel brave
when I didn’t feel brave
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again
Thank you for activating
my gratitude
cos I never want to be at war
with my body again
