My new music video is out today!! Lyrics & credits under the cut ♥️
Lose This Number
lose this number
we don't know each other anymore
whatever that was, that was before
and now it's done
oceans crashing, galaxies collapsing in the hum
from here to wherever you're calling from
lose this number
i gotta run
what have they been telling you?
where have those flowers gone?
when the world is cleaved in two
whose side will you be on?
rome is burning
even so, it's home and here i'll stay
you're hoping the flames won't spread your way
i'm sure you'll be fine
how with this rage?
i've worked my fingers raw, what have you done?
if i can't trust you, i can't trust anyone
lose this number
i'm sure you'll be fine
what have they been telling you?
where have those flowers gone?
when the world is cleaved in two
whose side will you be on?
when they come for me, and they're going to come
don't you come running to my aid
when they come for me, and they're going to come
don't you come running to my aid
oh, when they come for me, and they're going to come
don't you come running to my aid
i'll be gone by then, long gone by then
long gone, long gone
so long...

ID2: A still of Charlie (Joe Locke) telling Nick that "You don't have to tell everyone, or anyone, if you don't want to." . The text is written with yellow and black outline.
ID3: Have you thought any more about what you said before I left? About coming out to your family? Obviously, you’re not obligated. You just seemed kind of hopeful when you talked about it. - excerpt from Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. "About coming out to your family? Obviously, you’re not obligated." is highlighted with a light shade of blue.
ID4: A still of Coach Singh(Chetna Pandya) talking with Nick in her office. "None of the guys know about me, so, um... Well, you don't owe them that information, okay?" is written in yellow with black outline as subtitles.
ID5: I have thought more about coming out to my family, which is part of why I’m staying here for now. Bea has offered to be there when I tell Philip if I want, so I think I will. Again, thoughts and prayers. - excerpt from Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. "I have thought more about coming out to my family," and " if I want" are highlighter with a light shade of red.
ID6: A close-up of Charlie in Nick's bed. "I want you to come out when and how you want to. And if that takes a long time, that's completely okay." is written in yellow with black outline as subtitles.
ID7: A still of Taylor Zakhar Perez talking in an interview, from August 2022, about the Red, White & Royal Blue movie. He's making air quotes. In black and with red background is written: This movie kind of transcends the... " the coming out story" . I think Matthew really focused a lot and we had lots of conversations about this. It was not focusing on that coming out moment, not calling it that, and just...
ID8: A still of Taylor Zakhar Perez talking in an interview, from August 2022, about the Red, White & Royal Blue movie. In black and with red background is written: more of having a conversation with those that are near and dear to you. So it's less of an event and... again like we just start normalizing this in society and ... like in the home.So it's unique in that way.
ID9: A still of Nick ( Kit Connor) and his mom (Olivia Colman) in the kitchen. She's looking at him while he's looking a little to his left and has his arms folded. "He doesn't have to know, sweetheart. He's got no right to know. You don't owe him a thing." is written in yellow with black outline as subtitles
ID10: my fucking stress dreams, and you’re asking me not to tell the president about it?” “Um. Yeah? I haven’t, um, come out to her. Yet.” Zahra blinks, presses her lips together, and makes a noise like she’s being strangled. “Listen,” she says. “We don’t have time to deal with this, and your mother has enough to manage without having to process her son’s fucking quarter-life NATO sexual crisis, so—I won’t tell her. But once the convention is over, you have to.” “Okay,” Alex says on an exhale. - excerpt from Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. "you’re asking me not to tell the president about it?" is highlighted with a light shade of purple. "Um. Yeah? I haven’t, um, come out to her. Yet" is highlighted with a light shade of blue.

ID11: A still of Wille (Edvin Ryding) during his speech from 206. He's looking to his left. "It was me in that video that leaked last term. The one with me and Simon. It was a, um... a moment I didn't want to share, with anyone else, so I lied about it. But it was me." is written in yellow with black outline as subtitles.
ID:12 The truth is, Henry and I have been together since the beginning of this year. The truth is, as many of you have read, we have both struggled every day with what this means for our families, our countries, and our futures. The truth is, we have both had to make compromises that cost us sleep at night in order to afford us enough time to share our relationship with the world on our own terms. We were not afforded that liberty. - excerpt from Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. "to afford us enough time to share our relationship with the world on our own terms. We were not afforded that liberty" is highlighted with a light shade of blue.
ID13: A close-up of Henry ( Nicholas Galitzine) in the car. He's staring down while trying to stay clam as he's feeling anxiety and panic.

ID14: A close-up of Alex ( Taylor Zakhar Perez) during his speech at the White House. His head is tilted a little to his left and his frowning with hurt and disappointment on his face. "The truth is, every queer person has the right to come out on their own terms and on their own timeline. They also have the right to choose not to come out at all." is written is white with black outline as subtitles.
ID15: A still of Henry sitting in a meeting. He's looking down with hurt and sadness in his eyes. He has his hands folded on the table. "The forced conformity of the closet cannot be answered with forced conformity in coming out of it. This isn't about shame. This is about privacy and the fundamental right of self-determination, " is written in white with black outline as subtitles.
ID16: A still of Alex continuing his speech, the camera is further from him now. "which are exactly the principles on which the struggle for queer liberation has always been fought." is written in white with black outline as subtitles.
ID17: A still of a TV showing Alex during his speech. "I hope one day we'll have the opportunity to be public about our relationship on our own terms." is written in white with black outline as subtitles.

got a new single out!! lyrics & credits below the cut 🖤
Don’t Wait Up
marie’s gone missing, didn’t show for her shift
left the volvo perched on a steep snowdrift
pointed due north when she blinked off the grid
and everyone’s still talkin’ ’bout what jennifer did
do you know where your mother hides the brandy?
do you know what goes on behind the trees?
do you know how to go a little crazy?
baby, please...
climb down, climb down from the window
we’re all meeting by the bend in the stream
heard the search party screaming in the shadows
baby, maybe it was just a dream
nora brought the moonlight in vermont
lila’s voice drops every time she takes a call
heard she’s going with a guy from two towns over
that’s not all, that’s not all
climb down, climb down from the rafters
and lie with me here on the ground
the dogs are circling the farmhouse now
they’re breathing down our necks, don’t make a sound
do you want for the night to last forever?
do you want to wrap yourself around the moon?
do you want to maybe run away together?
baby, soon…
marie’s gone missing, left a note on the fridge
daddy, don’t wait up for me
daddy, don’t wait up for me
daddy, don’t wait up for me
daddy, don’t wait up for me
