about

‘Blurry Ones’ was written about a time when Gradon bought his wife Ally a vintage camera which took as Gradon describes – “Basically useless blurry photograph.” Seeing it as a metaphor for his life/love and at time useless behaviour, Charlie tells the story of himself grappling with mental illness while coming to terms with the fact that he has found the love of his life. The last lyrics of the song depicts Gradon’s feelings - “I’m getting happier, and it’s all thanks to her.”

lyrics

In the morning,
you will get out with no time to waste
I’ve been trying to find the right way,
to do exactly what you say.

Why don’t you chill out?
Don’t lose your head now.
Is it love or hate,
That tells you how to operate?

I can see your empty love,
Picture perfect hand to glove.
The Camera’s broken but so what?
I kinda like the burry ones.

Im getting down,
and there’s an awful lot of illness going around.

I was out of town do you need proof?
Like a fugitive running rings around you,
Like a game of cat and mouse.
This situation’s going south,
I should have kept the words in my mouth
I’m alone in this haunted house.

I can feel your beating heart,
It’s time to spend some time apart.
The camera’s broken but so what?
I kinda like the blurry ones.

I’m getting down,
and theres an awful lot of illness going around.
I’m getting happier and it’s all thanks to her.
