‘Until I Return’ was written during a seven-month winter lockdown in Berlin, where the Wellington-based songwriter-producer-vocalist was living at the time. 

Back in Aotearoa and having reconnected with family, Goodnight My Darling reflects on the time as being extremely reinventive and empowering - something she explores in her video.

“There’s symbolic use of light and dark, death and rebirth in the video. We’ve used stop motion, and it was an amazing challenge to pull off both the recording and editing of this process. I had to stand still for a long time and used a doppelgänger, which was so fun.”
