Not Enough:

Jamie: This was supposed to be the last song I would ever write. We were half way through writing the album and sat down with Pete to go through the 50+ demos we had put together to form the rest of the album. We listened to every single one of them...and I suddenly realised that I had grown to completely hate the music I was writing and that maybe I wasn’t ready to be doing an album after all. It was a long, crappy drive back to London after that revelation.

After being home for a couple weeks, I had given up on music - but I just wanted to get one last idea that had been in my head for a few years recorded and out of the way. I felt like once I had done that, I could move on and leave my music days behind me. That idea was the first minute or so of Not Enough.

Becca came back with a few vocal ideas for it - but one lyric really stuck out and resonated with me. 'Am I Not Enough?’. I wanted to base the entire chorus around that concept, so I moved things into place.

I'd never had an Anavae lyric resonate with me that strongly before - so I knew I had to stop moping around and finish the track. Getting Not Enough finished in the studio with Pete then spawned a bunch of ideas for other tracks I wanted to have on the album (Human, Skeleton and Shy Girls)...so it'll always be the most important song that I’ll have written.

Becca: The lyrics and the tone of the instrumentation are in two different worlds, which both jars me, and intrigues me. Jamie named the early demo version of this ‘Help’ so I immediately knew he would appreciate a darkness in the lyrics, which suited me perfectly, as all I could find myself writing, or thinking about in this period, was of being lonely. A new kind of lonely, one that I had never experienced in quite that way before. An all-encompassing emptiness.
