How Arthur Hill reached Wembley without a debut album
Arthur Hill’s route from the Electric Ballroom to an OVO Arena Wembley headline was built through EPs, touring and a catalogue that kept expanding in public.
Lyrics
I had you on the phone, I heard you were mine I've been on the run since you walked through the hallway Heard it all before, I don't even mind I'll do anything, pull me in and I'm far away You're right there But I won't say that I'm standing I'm right here, when I see you I panic So scared of the way it might pan out
Well I don't wanna say that this was all it was Trying not to stay but that just made it worse I've been keeping my distance But I just wanna know what you're thinking I just can't explain the way it hurts Now that what we had is gone, I don't have the words I'm so bad at playing along, saving my feelings I've been keeping my distance
I talked about it last night, thought I was fine Helped you pack your things, put your bags in the hallway Maybe in a past life, problems aside We could make it home, I'd hear you when you're calling You're right there, yeah But I won't say that I'm standing I'm right here, when I see you I panic So scared of the way it might pan out
I don't wanna say that this was all it was Trying not to stay but that just made it worse I've been keeping my distance I just wanna know what you're thinking I just can't explain the way it hurts Now that what we had is gone, I don't have the words I'm so bad at playing along, saving my feelings I've been keeping my distance
I've been feeling so high on the way down Hope I get another chance 'cause I know I wouldn't Wouldn't let you pass by, wouldn't even think twice Let you out of my mind, I don't even know why I've been feeling so high on the way down Said you treated me bad 'cause you know I couldn't You know I couldn't I don't wanna say that this was all it was
Trying not to stay but that just made it worse I've been keeping my distance I just wanna know that you're thinking I just can't explain the way it hurts Now that what we had is gone, I don't have the words I'm so bad at playing along, saving my feelings I've been keeping my distance

From Dork
Arthur Hill’s route from the Electric Ballroom to an OVO Arena Wembley headline was built through EPs, touring and a catalogue that kept expanding in public.
Ruel described ‘Cats on the Ceiling’ as a song about loosening self-control, embracing uncertainty and leaving space for listeners’ own interpretations.
Ten new tracks featuring Kenny Beats, M-Phazes and more arrive in June.
Ruel steps further into his own lane one heartfelt chorus at a time.
