The latest single by the silky-voiced London-based New Zealand-Australian soul singer brings also punchy horns and orchestra in a jazz-funk-Motown-style fusion, and comes from his forthcoming album, The Loop, out on 10 May via Decca Records.

If a friend, or a foe, or least someone that you've known
Disappears from the soil of this sphere
Then only then, will you know, that a version of yourself
Will fade away and never re-appear
So, if they're close, hold on to the ones you trust
'Cause this world can cut the roots of your love
Give the goods to yourself, 'cause you know you've been through hell
What's left are visions called for show and tell
Whatever it is, whatever you said
Will it hurt to reach out here to make amends?
Running out of time, out of time for a godsend
I'll show my love to the very end
’Cause there's a fire with no flame (Flame), with its embers in my name (Name)
'Cause I ran away, to never face the shame
It left a world, oh so cold (Cold)
Like I was buried in the snow (Snow)
But then I felt the hand from many moons ago
On a path to divine (Divine), I remembered that in time (Time)
I would make a home and wed this half of mine
And so a legacy was born (Born), to help me through this winter storm (Storm)
Found a reason, a reason to hold on
Hey, whatever it is, whatever you said
Will it hurt to reach out here to make amends?
Running out of time, out of time for a godsend
I'll show my love to the very end
Hey, however it goes, however they leave
Do they deserve to hold on to a part of me?
Running out of time, out of time for a godsend
I'll show my love to the very end
Out of time
Ooh-ooh
Whatever it is
Out of time for a godsend
Whatever it is, whatever you said
Will it hurt to reach out here to make amends? (Yeah)
Running out of time, out of time for a godsend
I'll show my love to the very end, end
However it goes, however they leave
Do they deserve to hold on to a part of me? (Yeah)
Running out of time, out of time for a godsend
I'll show my love to the very end (Woah)
