Boy - Settling x James Walker x Rain Adair (Official Audio)

Settling is the confessional and poetic collaborative project between James Walker and Rain Adair.

Their upcoming EP, “Field of Vision”, is an urgent and emotive exploration of childhood trauma, addiction, loss, and eventual recovery. Taking sonic queues from Lowswimmer, The Japanese House, and Pinegrove, the deliberately spacious, imperfect and ethereal arrangements evoke feelings of nostalgia, melancholy and reflection.

Settling marks the beginning of a full year of releases for both James Walker and Rain Adair, with James launching 2 EPs and an album over 2024, and Rain set to announce many releases over the year. 
“Field of Vision” is proof that shared trauma and hardship, when explored through creativity, can metamorphose into something beautiful. 

Rain Adair is also known as Ashley Wilkie, frontman of MMX and Francesqa. He has toured with The 1975, Futures, and Kids In Glass Houses, as well as won a Kerrang! Award for Best British Newcomer. James Walker is a prolific songwriter signed to Snafu Records (Kevin Garrett, Sam Macpherson, RANI), his left-field and unique songs have gained him more than 30m plays to date, and tours all over.

Lyrics:


I was just a boy, how was I supposed to feel?
I had questions more than your lessons could reveal
So God, come down here, show me you’re real
‘Cause I need you more now than ever
So show yourself and I’ll kneel

Say what you want but
I feel there’s something here
It could be you but I can’t be sure
(It could be you but I can’t be sure)

I was just a boy, now I’m staring in those stained-glass eyes
I wish I could lie and tell you
What we’re about to go through
Will be alright
You won’t know God, but you will know hell
Losing your connection in a garden full of questions
Seek yourself
Before you seek something else

Say what you want but
I feel there’s something here
(I feel something)
It could be you but I can’t be sure
I feel there’s something here
(I feel something)
It could be you but I can’t be sure
