London-based, Sydney-born singer-songwriter Georgia Mooney shares ‘Australian Crawl’, the first single from her forthcoming sophomore album, Private Theatre, out 27 April.
Named after the swimming stroke, ‘Australian Crawl’ is a bittersweet track about telling someone you love them and knowing those feelings will not be returned. The song came from a grand declaration of love to a friend, with Mooney arranging to meet beneath a fig tree a fortnight later to hear his answer. He arrived late, only to turn her down.
“We are led to believe that to declare our feelings is… well, a mortifying display of vulnerability and earnestness. But I think we do ourselves a great disservice in thinking that way. I strongly believe that to open yourself up to loving someone is the noblest of offerings. A gift worthy of reverence!”
