The English songwriter seemed to implicitly grasp where he was travelling to, crafting beautiful, soft-hewn nuggets, blissful acoustic melodies wrapped around pearls of wisdom. With five EP’s and over 100 million streams under his belt, 2021 sees Nick releasing something bigger. His debut album – defiantly crafted during lockdown – is his boldest statement yet, and it could well be his most affecting, and profound.
Gorgeous, gilded songwriting, Nick Wilson’s work is worth aligning next to Bon Iver or Ben Howard, with elements of Phoebe Bridgers’ emotional heft in there, too. As Nick puts it, he’s infatuated by the craft of songwriting. “The lovely thing about it,” he insists, “is that you can have these little pockets of space to play around in, but then you can do things really quickly off the back of them because they’re not quite tied in together. They can be separate things.”

Colour Me In
Nick Wilson Lyrics
Staring right back into the black waiting for the sky to fall
And all that I see reflecting at me, a face I've never seen before
If all that I need is just out of reach I might never see the sun
But then you come and turn the lights on
Suddenly I see a way out
And all I need is you to show me how
To colour me in
I'm ready to start again
Caleidoscope eyes
Are finally focusing
I've been spending my days
Losing my ways
Everything fades to grey
So colour me in
Colour me in
Touching your skin, breathing you in is bringing me back to life
All of our flaws were locked behind doors but now we're on the inside
I wasn't sure that I'll make it through all of the darker shades
But then you came and turned the lights on
To colour me in
I'm ready to start again
Caleidoscope eyes
Are finally focusing
I've been spending my days
Losing my ways
Everything fades to grey
So colour me in
Colour me in
Come save me, come save me
Come save me from myself
If you let me, if you let me
I'll colour you in
Come save me, come save me
Come save me from myself
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to start again
Caleidoscope eyes
Are finally focusing
I've been spending my days
Losing my ways
Everything fades to grey
So colour me in
Colour me in
And all that I see reflecting at me, a face I've never seen before
If all that I need is just out of reach I might never see the sun
But then you come and turn the lights on
Suddenly I see a way out
And all I need is you to show me how
To colour me in
I'm ready to start again
Are finally focusing
I've been spending my days
Losing my ways
Everything fades to grey
So colour me in
Colour me in
Touching your skin, breathing you in is bringing me back to life
All of our flaws were locked behind doors but now we're on the inside
I wasn't sure that I'll make it through all of the darker shades
But then you came and turned the lights on
To colour me in
I'm ready to start again
Caleidoscope eyes
Are finally focusing
I've been spending my days
Losing my ways
Everything fades to grey
So colour me in
Colour me in
Come save me, come save me
Come save me from myself
If you let me, if you let me
I'll colour you in
Come save me, come save me
Come save me from myself
I'm ready, I'm ready
I'm ready to start again
Caleidoscope eyes
Are finally focusing
I've been spending my days
Losing my ways
Everything fades to grey
So colour me in
Colour me in
