UK duo Let’s Eat Grandma, the UK duo comprised of Rosa Walton and Jenny Hollingworth have shared a new video for “Happy New Year.” The track follows their previous single “Hall of Mirrors,”  and is off their forthcoming release Two Ribbons, available April 8th via Transgressive (Damon Albarn, Arlo Parks, Neon Indian).

Let’s Eat Grandma’s Rosa Walton on “Happy New Year:”

“I wrote ‘Happy New Year’ after a breakdown between us that lasted for a long period of time, to communicate to her how important she is to me and how our bond and care for each other goes much deeper than this difficult time. I used the setting of New Year as both an opportunity for reflection, looking back nostalgically through childhood memories that we shared, and to represent the beginning of a fresh chapter for us. I’d been struggling to come to terms with the fact that our relationship had changed, but as the song and time progresses I come to accept that it couldn’t stay the way it was when we were kids forever, and start to view it as a positive thing – because now we have been able to grow into our own individual selves.”

Happy New Year
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise
Then see the year come into bloom
And nothing that was broken can touch how much I care for you Because you know you’ll always be my best friend
And look at what I have with you
Mmm
I said I don’t know how we do it
And you said
“Do you think if we’d have been together we’d be breaking up?” I said “I’d want the synth,
And what a thing to say”
Do you remember when we’d spend our days at the end of my garden? Summertime, rope swings
Say the things that no-one knew about us
Well there’s no one else who gets me quite like you
Sparks in the sky until we meet the sunrise
Then see the year come into bloom
And nothing that was broken can touch how much I care for you Because you know you’ll always be my best friend
And look at what I made with you
Mmm
We’d still lie in your room
Even passing through those stone cold days knew that neither of us were going away (that’s what made it harder)
I could only wish time froze in the snow globe
Remember when we built that igloo out in the park We’d been waiting for the snow since May
Sat in there for a day
And then had a bubble bath in our swimsuits
