After years of ending relationships, English musician Keaton Henson has finally landed in the arms of his soulmate. But amid his happiness lives a fear that he's already given away the best of himself, as he tells on "Late to You."
"All these years parading/ Parading my flaws/ I've been slowly deflating/ But baby, now I'm yours," he sings. "I left it late to love you/ And what is left ain't much/ It took too long to trust you/ I fear I'll crumble at your touch."
In this episode of Press Play, Henson delivers a stripped-down performance of "Late to You" using his acoustic guitar. He performs the track with vocal support from his wife, Danielle Fricke, who is also loosely the subject of its lyrics.
"This is one of the songs I really relate to and feel is taken from my own feelings about my wife, but perhaps for different reasons than the character in the song," Henson told 1883 Magazine about "Late to You." The track is a single from Henson's latest album, House Party, which features a handful of songs inspired by Fricke.
