WHAT OFFICER SAYS ABOUT THIS SONG:
Logan explains, ” This is about the beauty and turmoil of committed relationship and the hardships and wonders friendship for life has to face… I kind of see it as this kind of musical landscape I’ve built to attempt to communicate years of falling in and out of love and hate with each other and your own self, with an underlying commitment to hope and beauty through brokenness within a time where I personally see so little of being present and committed to people or deepening face to face relationship and the awkwardness that might mean sitting with and going through.”
“ Willow & Anchor is the song on my new album from which the album takes its own name, Night Tennis… it might be my favourite song on the album… it’s a song that simply looks, in a non-flinching way, over the course of a lifelong love, a friendship or relationship that’s lasted all the knocks and battles and has both enjoyed and created lots of joy and hope within those people in the relationship and in those around them. It doesn’t shy away from either the on-the-brink turmoil or sublime beauty of a longstanding committed relationship and what choosing and re-choosing love kind of chips off your character over time to refine you… I guess I see it as this kind of ever-opening, widening, deepening and cyclical musical landscape we’ve woven to attempt to communicate years of love coming through both light and dark times and lasting and overcoming. It’s about commitment to loving someone or being loved by them even when it’s really difficult and how that grows and changes both yourself and them for the better. The song talks honestly about failure and feeling like you fail so much that failure can become where you emotionally feel a sense of belonging and having to overcome that and scrap to get yourself into a better place in your mental health. I explore the posture of determination of looking for the treasure in someone and seeing them for what they could become as opposed to the tough things loving them is throwing at you in the here and now, and how when you do that you both see and magnify their beauty and how that kind of blows your heart apart in the best possible way. It’s built from the smallest of things… something that can feel like an endangered kind of love in the world today at times. I built the song both sonically and lyrically out of deliberately almost bland everyday heroics elements of friendship and kindnesses, and simple intimate memories to create a cascade through the song with the idea of it journeying to build a kind of epic grooving structure out of actions, words and thoughts that could seem pathetic, weak, insignificant or not at all profound on first impression ,but then when you see them through faithfully, day by day, over years and years, suddenly you find they have turned what you have between yourself and the one you love into something magnificent, transcendent and filled with the indestructible power of weakness.”
