White Lies - Breakdown Days

White Lies - Breakdown Days. Directed by Charles Cave. Bonus Edition of ’As I Try Not To Fall Apart’ is out now - Breakdown Days was written in the heart of the first UK lockdown. The song reflects my mood at the time, I felt trapped in many ways not being able to tour or to work. The lyrics are about yearning to reach out about your problems but because you’re living together, in close quarters, it means you can’t totally lose your shit! I always enjoy dressing up quite dark lyrics in a pop song and I love the contrast in this track. I’m sure we all dress ourselves up sometimes! -Harry McVeigh
