‘i’m losing track of my friends’ by jonny swift feels like opening an old yearbook and realising how much time has slipped away – nostalgic, bittersweet, but laced with light. it’s a song about distance that still somehow brings you closer.

based in cumbria, swift leans into jangly guitars, tambourines, and melodies that echo the lineage of r.e.m., the byrds, and the smiths. the lyrics are tender snapshots of youth – “games of pool, and atari console games forever” – simple but devastating in their honesty.

recorded in barrow-in-furness with matt kassell, this under-three-minute indie-pop gem proves that brevity can still carry a lifetime of feeling. uplifting and wistful, it’s music that makes memory dance.

thank u for making this jonny ❤️
