This introspective track is a tender exploration of relationships, loss, and the fleeting nature of time. The duo’s touching craftsmanship is nothing short of astonishing.
The poignant lyrics convey complex emotions as the pair traverse the narrative of past love and longing, dishing out lyrics like, “Did the sun ever come around your corner? / Did that boy ever ask you to dance?” Their words, adorned with subtle metaphors, invite listeners on a journey through memories and the murky waters of longing and regret.
The song’s sonic landscape, delicately crafted with acoustic guitars, serves as a perfect canvas for the duo’s intimate and touching narrative.

Lucas herself stated, “This is one of my favourite songs I’ve written so far… It perfectly captures how the passing of time can give you a new perspective on past relationships.” Hull echoes this sentiment, emphasising their intention to keep the production simple, allowing their cosy, warm voices to carry the emotional weight of the song.
I Imagine You Are Happy is an indie-folk song that elegantly weaves together a rich tapestry of emotion and nostalgia. Its tender lyrics and understated melody will stir your heart and linger in your memory.
