“When I went travelling around Europe there was the Eurovision song contest on, and I got a bit dunk and we missed our train to Budapest the next day. Anyway, when I got back I kind of realised how many songs there were about people giving up things for somebody, so I thought I'd make a song about giving up things I don't have. These elaborate things that I don't have that I could give up to somebody, and I kind of thought there was kind of some sweet sentiment in that.” PeopleGivingKindSongNextBitsSweetGiving UpEuropeTrainSentimentsNext DayContestsRealisedBudapest Author:George Ezra
