about

Alternative electronic duo Sumner (Chloe Wilson & Jack McLaine) hail from the native woodlands of lutruwita / Tasmania. Sumner explore themes of power, intimacy and isolation with earnest and unique perspectives from their cold climate environment. An intense period of hibernation and creative growth has dawned their stunning single 'Stranded', co-written and produced by Nick Littlemore and Peter Mayes (PNAU, Empire of the Sun).

“I wrote the beat for Stranded in a 30 min rush of inspiration,” explains Jack. “Chasing the bittersweet feeling in between melancholy and hope. The first time we played it in the live set we were supporting PNAU at their show in Forth, Tasmania. They invited us to the studio in Sydney with them, and within a day we had reworked it into the song ‘Stranded’ as it exists today.”

Chloe adds, “Lyrically, Stranded is a letter to a former self - acknowledging that without that previous person you once were, you would never have arrived at your current form. It’s easy to shy away from a former version of yourself that you’re not so proud of, but it’s crucial to acknowledge that existence and what it taught and prepared you for. Accept what was and carry yourself forward. See the beauty in all versions of yourself instead of abandoning the ones that no longer serve you.”

lyrics

VERSE 1
Love you know I need you now
Honey dripping from your mouth
I could never ever doubt anything you do
I could never burn out when I’m with you
We build it up and break it down
If we could just find common ground
I could never ever doubt anything you do
But I never ever doubt anything I feel for you

PRE-CHORUS
We were only fighting each other
We only see one another
But I can’t fight anymore
We were just igniting each other
Trying to see in full colour
I can’t fight anymore

CHORUS
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you

BRIDGE
I don’t want anything, anyone
I don’t need, I’m a be everyone
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
I don’t want anything, anyone
I don’t need, I’m a be everyone
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey
Hey, we are alive hey

CHORUS
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you stranded
Won’t leave you

OUTRO
Love you know I need you now
Honey dripping from your mouth
I could never ever doubt anything you do
I could never burn out when I’m with you
We build it up and break it down
If we could just find common ground
I could never ever doubt anything you do
But I never ever doubt anything I feel for you
