Remedy
Remedy was written during a time when Jack was struggling with his sexuality and identity—a period a psychic called his ‘dark night of the soul’. It was inspired by the first person Jack came out to, helping him to rekindle his light and feel comfortable in his own skin. The song begins with a simple piano riff and whispered vocals, creating a chilled-out, Ibiza feel. Groovy electric and acoustic guitar parts by Martin Abbott add depth and warmth as the song evolves into a euphoric anthem of self-acceptance.

Lyrics
Without you
I’m broken
Think I’d have given up by now
Without you
I’m confused
But you heal me somehow
Yeah somehow
You fire up my heart
But somehow
Yeah somehow
You bring back my spark
Yeah you’re my remedy tonight
Yeah you’re the light in the dark
So be my remedy for life
I know with you I found my heart
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Without you
Defeated
By all the voices in my head
Without you
Frustrated
But you heal me somehow
Yeah somehow
You fire up my heart
But somehow
Yeah somehow
You bring back my spark
Yeah you’re my remedy tonight
Yeah you’re the light in the dark
So be my remedy for life
I know with you I found my heart
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
I find it hard at night to close my eyes
But having you in my life
Gives me wings to fly
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
To fly
Yeah you’re my remedy tonight
Yeah you’re the light in the dark
So be my remedy for life
I know with you I found my heart
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
To fly, yeah
