Songfacts®:

  • Richard Hawley told Uncut this song, "seemed to appear out of nowhere." He added regarding the song's meaning: "It strikes me that we pay too much attention to our outward appearance and well-being, but very little attention to our inner well-being - and a lot of the record is about that."

    "What drives us as people is our thoughts, and without wanting to sound like some hippy, it's a matter of getting that balance between your inner being and the outside world," Hawley continued. "It can cause a lot of s--t if you don't get it right. And as you get older, you need a bit more maintenance with these things."
  • This features the Hicks Street Chip Shop Singers, who are made up of various Sheffield luminaries, including Slow Club's Rebecca Taylor. They were named for the fish and chip shop near Yellow Arch Studios, Sheffield where Hollow Meadows was recorded.
