Coach Party
“I just remember my eyes filling up and thinking this is so difficult,” begins Jess Eastwood. “But at
the same time I knew it was going to be such a good thing when it’s out on a song. That was the
first time I ever felt like that.”
The Coach Party bassist and vocalist is reflecting on the cathartic, empowering experience of
purging the pain and inner turmoil that inspired their new song Georgina, a standout track from
the Isle Of Wight band’s upcoming second album Caramel.
It’s a raw, unvarnished account of her time in therapy, and of her therapist, that’s as much of a cry
for help and trying to regain control as it is an acceptance of the void. But while evocative lines
like ‘I can’t see a way out / I miss myself / I want to get back’ and ‘I’m locking my doors again /
I’m pushing away my friends / They’re grieving’ highlight feelings of isolation and desperation,
they didn’t come naturally – lyrics had to be drawn out by guitarist Steph Norris, who was mining
her best friend’s psyche for the right words, leaving no stone unturned.
