Lucy Kitchen unveils the lyric video for her new single ‘In My Corner’ today, released through Bohemia Rose Records and Make My Day Records.
As we move into Autumn, ‘In My Corner‘ is a moving soundtrack decorated in delicate banjo and slide guitar, Kitchen’s evocative vocals, echoing the warmth and melancholy of the classic Laurel Canyon sound. Swelling into an emotive meditation on loss, grief and heartbreak, elements of country and Joni Mitchell seaping through this wonderfully drawn song.
“I miss you in my corner, telling me I’m the one,” Lucy sings, offering a intimate glimpse into the loss of her husband Stephen to cancer, and with him, the quiet strength of her biggest champion. Yet the song doesn’t dwell solely in grief, but is also a testament to resilience: a meditation on reclaiming agency and choosing how to navigate and rebuild life alongside heartbreak.
Lucy Kitchen: “We used to sit up and have these big life/death chats as we knew he didn’t have long to live at a certain point. I remember one night having a really big one about what I was going to do and me chucking out all these slightly crazy ideas and him just saying that he wanted me to really live my life and do whatever I wanted. A lot of this song comes out of that and has become one of my favourite tracks on the album.”
