[Chorus]
I work all night
I do my thing
Just killin' time
Need a friend
Is this my life?
Beginning or end?
Can I start again?
Can we start again?
[Verse 1]
There's a new moon on the rise
Turn the tide, turn the tide
I've been walking a thin line
Between the Earth and the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do my realities take over all my dreams?
Why does all the purest love get filtered through machines?
Give me something good that's even better than it seems
Why does all the purеst love get filterеd through machines?
[Chorus]
I work all night (I work all night)
I do my thing (I do my thing)
Just killin' time (Just killin' time)
Need a friend (A friend)
Is this my life?
Beginning or end? (Beginning or end?)
Can I start again? (Can we begin again?)
Can we start again? (Can we begin again?)
[Verse 2]
There's a new sun in the sky
Where are you? Where am I?
Have you been looking like I've been looking for a reason or a sign?
Oh, why? Oh, why?
[Pre-Chorus]
Why do my realities take over all my dreams?
Why does all the purest love get filtered through machines?
Give me something good that's even better than it seems
Why does all the purest love get filtered through machines?
[Chorus]
I work all night (I work all night)
I do my thing (I do my thing)
Just killin' time (Just killin' time)
Need a friend (A friend)
Is this my life?
Beginning or end? (Beginning or end?)
Can I start again? (Can we begin again?)
Can we start again? (Can we begin again?)
[Bridge]
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (Can we begin?)
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (Ooh, the start)
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again?
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again?
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (Who we were, killing time)
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (We're just killing time)
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (Can we begin again? Again?)
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (Again?)
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (I work all night)
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (Do my thing; can we begin?)
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (Just killin' time)
Can we begin again and be who we were at the start, at the start again? (Too hard, all night, all night)
Can we begin again? (I work too hard, oh)
Can we begin again? (Beginning or end? Woah)
Can we begin again? (Moving time)
Can we begin again? (Moving time)
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Why do my realities take over all my dreams?
Why does all the purest love get filtered through machines?
Give me something good that's even better than it seems
Why does all the purest love get filtered through machines?
Can we begin again?
Can we begin again?
Can we begin again?
Can we begin again?

I [incorporate messages into the titles of my songs] consciously. To tell people to let go of their inhibitions and be proud of who they are. Above all, it is a message that I send to myself. Now, with Begin Again, I ratify that kind of new birth that I have experienced since I truly understood the...
On a miserable afternoon during lockdown, James Ford zoomed Shungudzo and Danny Parker in Los Angeles. They were just waking up, it was already dark in London. Frustrated yet completely focused, we set about writing in a new – and unnatural – way over the internet. Dreaming of human touch, escapes t...

The last one on this first half of the vinyl is “Begin Again”. The reason I separated “Begin Again” with “Pearls” on the record was because I feel people needed a bit of a breather from my big vocals. […] “Begin Again” is a song that was the start of the record, it was the first song we wrote. It wa...
“Begin Again” is the pathway from What’s Your Pleasure? into That! Feels Good!. It’s where this album started—and was written over Zoom between LA and Hackney. The lyric “Why does all the purest love get filtered through machines?” probably came from that—I’m sick to death of Zooms! But if you think...
