I also wanted the word to tie in with the stories I was telling, the intimacy of family, the tales of romantic love in my life, but also the inevitable loss that comes with living and how to manage that. All these feelings we come across recurrently in life, from losing a friend, to falling out of touch with yourself and others, to the beauty of falling in love.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gearbox","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50995541213515,"sku":"2236982","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50995541803339,"sku":"2236985","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2024-12-20_-_13_34_11_-_GB1598_Sales_Note.pdf___DocHub_e845026d_thumbnail_40.png?v=1734704166"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/collections\/liza-lo.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
