The track is inspired by Sion Hill's experience missing a train and being three hours late to a writing session.
Sion Hill has just released 'Last Minute,' his second single on Warner Music Germany since 'Fuel Kids' last summer.
The Irish-born London-based singer-songwriter, whose real name is Nathan Johnston, was inspired to write the song after he missed his train from London to Liverpool for a writing session with his producer, Rich Turvey. Johnston and Turvey decided to build on the experience. The song turns Johnston's train experience into a portrayal of a budding relationship that is overshadowed or propelled by his latecomer streak.
“It's not so much an apology to one person for not showing up on time, but more of a general statement that sometimes things can be more interesting when they are spontaneous,” Johnston says. “I don't like letting people down, so I'm trying to get better with my timing, but at the same time, I leave a lot of things to the last minute. There's something slightly freeing about not having plans and I love those evenings when I go out with no real plan and just see where the night takes us.”
His debut album Elephant was released in 2017 via Clouds Hill Records. As well as making appearances at music festivals like Indiependence and All Together Now, Sion Hill has supported the likes of A-ha, Jim James, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, Alice Merton, Lilly Among Clouds and Pete Doherty.
