The story of

Don't Want to Get Used to Being Without You

single / 2025-01-09
folk / female duet, guitars, bass

Don’t Want to Get Used to Being Without You is a song that should feel cozy, like a nostalgic warm embrace from a faraway friend. Born long-distance (Prague, Czechia and Fremantle/Perth, Australia), and a wish to create together even if so far apart and often so busy, this track ended up being a tender folk love duet, actually one of the very few sung by two women.

"A tender folk love duet, actually one of the very few sung by two women."

The song carries the cozy, familiar sound of folk music with unexpected dreamy touches, yet it tells a story that’s often left untold – a tale of love and longing in a relationship of two girls. Tilly and Claire, though miles apart, poured their hearts into capturing the bittersweet feeling of missing that someone special, of trying to hold onto love across the distance, while keeping it approachable and full of beautiful imagery.

With its gentle melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Don’t Want to Get Used to Being Without You is more than just a song; it's an expression of openness, equality of love between a man and a women to that of two women as well as any other kind of love, a reflection of a connection transcending space and time, a love letter to the ones we miss the most and wish we don’t ever want to miss again.

& lyrics

Velvet green
 On the bough of a tree                                                          
 A flowing burn
 A leaf set free
 Untethered now
 Carried along
 Don’t get caught on the edges
 Feeling strong
  
In my mind
 Talking to you
 Leaves turn red
 A golden hue
 Over the hills
 But where’s the hand
 That fits in mine
 Walkin ‘long the old train line
  
Don’t want to get used to
 Being without you
 Don’t want to get used to 
 Being without you 
 Without you, without you 
 Without you, without you 
  
A castle
 On a stony shore
 So beautiful, you say
 It makes your eyes sore
 Telling the time
 By the light on the braes
 Frosty dawn
 Lonely days
  
Mountains soothe
 A troubled mind
 Snow floats down 
 Birds entwined
 But, now I’m done
 I’m following the sun
 Need your touch (need your touch, need your)
 My one, my one
  
Don’t want to get used to being without you
 (Used to being)
 Don’t want to get used to being without you
 (Used to being without you)
 Without you, without you 
 Without you, without you 
  
Don’t want to get used to being without you
 (Used to being)
 Don’t want to get used to
 (Used to being without you)
 Being without you 
 Without you, without you 
 Without you, without you
