Speaking more on the song, which was written in collaboration with Is Tropical's Gary Barber Tomlinson shared: "The song is about aging, at any age. As the album's opener, it flows seamlessly from We Are Still Wild Horses down to the beat. It’s a moment — a view from a great height — when the full weight of the distance between the person you used to be and the person you are now hits you like a freight train. It fills you up and empties you out all at once. Everything that has happened brought you here. You can never go back, but then again, you don’t need to. All of those moments are still happening endlessly inside you. You’re holding them all like a vessel."
Die To Wake Up From A Dream is MF Tomlinson's third studio album following the 2021 debut, Strange Time, and 2023's We Are Still Wild Horses.
MF Tomlinson will launch the new album with in-stores at Rough Trade East, Rough Trade Bristol, Drift Records in Totnes and David's Music in Letchworth.
