“40 Days” was written and recorded in the after math of Neil Halstead’s breakup with Rachel Goswell. Seeking seclusion, he left on a 2 week trip to a Welsh cottage, where he recorded this song.
It hadn’t been long since i and Rachel split up, so i was kinda miserable about that, and i was miserable...
[Verse 1]
Forty days and I miss you
I'm so high that I've lost my mind
It's the summer I'm thinking of
Forty days and I'm blown away
[Chorus]
If I saw something good
I guess I wouldn't worry
If I saw something good
I guess I wouldn't care
[Verse 2]
You said you're always sleeping
But it’s all I believe in
It's just that I'm always falling
And it makes me feel bad, yeah
[Chorus]
If I saw something good
I guess I wouldn't worry
If I saw something good
I guess I wouldn't care
[Outro]
Used to try and watch you
I’d center on the way that you smile
I don't know
Used to try and watch you
I’d center on the way that you smile
I don't know
Summer air and I want you
I center on the way that you smile
I don't know
Summer air and I want you
I center on the way that you smile
I don't know
