The past couple of years have been a whirlwind and I rarely get the chance to reflect on everything that’s happened. Over the past few months I’ve been looking back; at the music I’ve made, the people I’ve met, the incredible experiences we’ve shared together and where I’m heading on a personal level. Playing my songs on tour, seeing them out in the world, and how they’ve affected people differently has made me want to give them another life so much I’ve put them together in the order I would listen to them in now - a fresh evolution of my first two EPs. I’ve also added a brand new song called Can You Afford To Lose Me? which is probably one of my favourite songs I’ve ever written. I feel like I've changed quite a lot since releasing some of my tracks, so I decided not to include a couple of them - while I’ll always love those songs, I wanted to highlight the ones that resonate the most with where I'm at in my life in this moment. I hope you guys can listen to these songs in new ways, just like I have.
It was really important to me that the video for Can You Afford To Lose Me? gave back to you guys in some way, whilst also having an impact (despite how small it might be) on the environment. So I started a giant Fifth Sister Swap chain by giving away my favourite hoodie from the Falling Asleep At The Wheel music video. It started with my friend & filmmaker Claryn knocking on one of my fans doors, giving my parcel to them and in exchange picking up a parcel with their special pre-loved item inside. This was then passed on to a stranger and repeated throughout the day until the last parcel finally came back to my house in a full circle. The idea being that each person extended the lifespan of their favourite old garment by passing it on to a stranger, so they could love it equally. I really hope you love it and I’m keen to do many more of these Fifth Sister Swap chains in the future I guess this is me closing the chapter on the first part of my journey. I’m writing my debut album as we speak and it’s going to come next year. It's my most personal music yet and I hope I can continue to document my experiences for them to become yours. lots & lots of love, HH xx

Holly Humberstone - Can You Afford To Lose Me? (Lyrics)
You were my home planet You were my stars my holy place But you took me for granted Right from the start now didn’t you babe
And I Wish you the best of luck in finding someone else who is strong enough And I This is the only time I can’t be keeping you from fucking up
So go ahead and do your worst But don’t you go and cry when it hurts Can you afford to lose me? Go ahead and pack your bagsBut once your gone you can’t come back Can you afford to lose me? And if you’ve still got that fire, then prove it to me
I was your life support machine Didn’t you realise it was always me I was always there to pick up the pieces When you were a full blown catastrophe And I Give you the closest thing you ever to had love so sober up And this time This is the final time, I draw the line, I’ve suffered long enough
So go ahead and do your worst But don’t you go and cry when it hurts Can you afford to lose me? Go ahead and pack your bagsBut once you’re gone you can’t come back Can you afford to lose me? And if you’ve still got that fire then prove it to me Can you sleep without me Can you breathe without me Don’t you need somebody Somebody… somebody..
Can you sleep without me Can you breathe without me Don’t you need somebody Somebody…
So go ahead and do your worst But don’t you go and cry when it hurts Can you afford to lose me? Go ahead and pack your bagsBut once you’re gone you can’t come back Can you afford to lose me?
