Sea Swallow x Tilly Team Up on Indie Folk Gem ‘Don’t Want to Get Used to Being Without You’

Don’t Want to Get Used to Being Without You is a song that should feel cozy, like a nostalgic warm embrace from a faraway friend. Born long-distance (Prague, Czechia and Fremantle/Perth, Australia), and a wish to create together even if so far apart and often so busy, this track ended up being a tender folk love duet, actually one of the very few sung by two women.

The song carries the cozy, familiar sound of folk music with unexpected dreamy touches, yet it tells a story that’s often left untold – a tale of love and longing in a relationship of two girls. Tilly and Claire, though miles apart, poured their hearts into capturing the bittersweet feeling of missing that someone special, of trying to hold onto love across the distance, while keeping it approachable and full of beautiful imagery.

With its gentle melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Don’t Want to Get Used to Being Without You is more than just a song; it’s an expression of openness, equality of love between a man and a women to that of two women as well as any other kind of love, a reflection of a connection transcending space and time, a love letter to the ones we miss the most and wish we don’t ever want to miss again.
