Lyrics
O’Hooley/Tidow
We were both diagnosed as autistic in November 2020. ‘Sleep’ by Max Richter is the
album we have listened to every day since Flynn’s birth to help us regulate.
Between the lines
I’m Princess & the Pea
Awkward, itchy, dopey
Smile and say ‘hello’
You’ll think I’ve understood
Lifetime learning
How to be good
To pass as one of you
When underneath
Interaction feels like
Too loud, too bright
Just not quite right
Everybody’s talking in riddles and rhymes
I need more time
To process and find
She’s got her head in the clouds
She’s on another planet
We’re on another planet together
Two loners walking side by side
Not streetwise
Each other’s guide
To life outside the door
I listen to ‘Sleep’
To dampen my brain
4 x 4 x 4 again
Crawl outside the door
Avoiding the eyes
Drown her at birth
Let her count cards
Defective genius, still a child
Her head’s in the clouds
Neuron - neuron we collide
The pathways of our minds
Semibreve
Outpourings of sadness
Outpourings of fury, grief, anger, bright
Just not quite right
Everybody’s talking in riddles and rhymes
I need more time
Heidi Tidow: Vocals
Belinda O’Hooley - Piano,

“She’s got her head in the clouds. She’s on another planet.” If I had a pound for every time I’ve heard that…

[@annalevermore7857]

As someone who is autistic this really spoke to me

[@alclay4164]

What an insightful piece of music 🎶 absolutely beautiful 😍

[@Sparks127]

Born in Slaiithwate. (Slowitt) over 50 years ago
Prickled by nettles was my first memory.
At Auntie Rita's I discovered there was no Santa.
Cousin Alan sold the boat we found in the "Rez"
Seen it on telly under other names.
Great track.

My word! Just thought I’d check what you were doing on your you tube channel and I see you’ve written another AMAZING song and put into words what can be difficult for some people to understand. Cudis to you both!

Having just been off work for a month with autistic burnout I only just dared to watch this.
Told myself I absolutely wasn't going to have an emotional reaction.
Having an emotional reaction. xx
