about

In this evocative single, Naomi shares a personal insight into her own friendships, highlighting the role of her closest confidantes, Lauren and Zoe. Lauren's introduction of rose-hip oil and Zoe's gift of a special soft cloth face washer became a part of Naomi's daily
routine—a morning and evening ritual that grounds her and reconnects her with her own embodiment.

‘Warm Water’ serves as a love song for friendship, celebrating the profound connections that go beyond romantic love. It explores the deep sense of longing for familiarity and connection, especially when close friends are separated by physical distance.

lyrics

I am a keeper of sentimental things
I have a metal box filled with postcards and photographs

And you may not feel
The way that I do
But I’ll remember for the both of us

I wear the same clothes, some of them are yours
I drive the same car, it’s the one that we bought
And I’ve moved house but you’re still in every room

You’re the one I look for, listen for
Beneath the noise in different forms
In days lost, in spaces known
Where we belong
Will we belong again?

I make the same bed, it’s the one that we made
I wrap all the gifts in the same brown paper
And I wash my face
The way you showed me how:

Warm water, a soft cloth
Rosehip oil, and gently does it

Gently, gently

You’re the one I look for, listen for
Beneath the noise, in different forms
In days lost, in spaces known
Where we belong
Will we belong again?
