about

Scrolling Back is a personal and powerful song about the end of a relationship. “This song is a reflection of how I was feeling at the time that I wrote it and captures the sense of loss and of memories” said Sharon. It should resonate with anyone who has recently been through this situation. It was written during lockdown and recorded at home by Sharon and Jonni Slater. “Lockdown was a period of creativity and collaboration for me and songwriting helped me get through this time of personal change.” said Sharon. Scrolling Back features Sharon on vocals, violin and viola with Jonni Slater on piano who also mixed and co-produced the track.

lyrics

Remember all the fun we had back in 93
Laughing and kissing, young and feeling free
Where did it all go wrong. did the seasons change
Stop singing our love song and became estranged

Now I'm scrolling back to find the last time you loved me
And I'm keeping track of al those photo memories
Carrying in my pocket some things I should forget
Cos I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet

Remember all the skies we shared, had adventures too
When did you realise we had something to lose
I know we made mistakes and caused each other pain
When did you realise that nothing was the same

Now I'm scrolling back to find the last time you loved me
And I'm keeping track of al those photo memories
Carrying in my pocket some things I should forget
Cos I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet

Remember when you couldn't wait to speak with me
We'd talk for hours excited by our company
Npw there's only silence at the end of the phone
And a message from you confirms that I'm alone

Now I'm scrolling back to find the last time you loved me
And I'm keeping track of al those photo memories
Carrying in my pocket some things I should forget
Cos I'm not ready to say goodbye just yet
