This video for the song 'I Know' is about being in the middle of a relationship conflict while recognising that our minds are putting walls up to protect us which painfully shuts our hearts out. Our minds are deceiving us though, as underneath we still love each other, even if we can't feel it in that moment.

'In Boxes' is a journey of self-discovery, challenging the listener to break free from their own 'boxes' and explore the uncharted territories of their inner selves. The whole album is available to preview here https://malcslate.com.

The background to this video was filmed at the magical Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island, British Columbia where some of the trees are over 800 years old.

I try to create music that resonates with the soul, my journey has been a quest for emotional depth through stages of deep reflection and inventive creativity. Now, as I release my first studio album and embark on the next chapter, I invite you to join me on this musical adventure.

The album was produced by Wayne Proctor, who has worked with many artists including Aynsley Lister, Ben Poole and Toby Lee. The album features musicians such as Oli Brown from RavenEye, Bennett Holland and Will Wilde on harmonica. You can hear me talk about the making of the album here https://malcslate.com/studio.

The Lyrics (the subtitles are also synced)
Your coat is made of diamonds
Your heart is made of flesh
Your love is made of our love
Your pain lies unexpressed
You need to fight you're strong now
To fix this awful mess
When I come out with words now
Reaction is anybody's guess

I see it when you're in the fight and I know
You get those feelings
But I see you in another light and I know
Your mind’s deceiving you
Your mind’s deceiving you

Your life's a precious jewel to me
A diamond in the rough
Your heart it speaks from you to me
Your loves always enough
But as we walk the forest
I lose your hand in mine
And as we start to wander
We lose all track of time

I see it when you're in the fight and I know
You get those feelings
But I see you in another light and I know
Your minds deceiving you
Your mind’s deceiving you
Your minds deceiving you
Your minds deceiving you

The feelings get stronger
The fights they get longer
And though we try to see the other side
Stay open wide

Hurts with their old cause
Just repeat into the night
We just upset ourselves
Till there’s nothing left to fight

Is this what we fought for
Emotional slaughter
Why do we push each other heads underwater

And as we blow apart
I watch you disappear
You build a wall so high

It’s almost
As big
As mine
(end)
