“I wrote this song with John Mayer seven months ago after meeting for the first time. I had just started getting into collaborating with other people and truly had never experienced a more natural creative flow while making this song.” – Cautious Clay

‘Swim Home’ contains a nostalgic storyline, ear-welcoming vocals, and sugar-sweet melodies. Also, the song possesses lush instrumentation scented with a contemporary R&B aroma.

The likable tune is featured on Netflix’s original series soundtrack, entitled, “13 Reasons Why (Season 3)”.

“I used to think about songwriting and production as completely separate. But when I learned how to merge those two things, that’s when I was able to start creating music that really connected with people.” – Cautious Clay

“Ever since I started playing music, it was always about the feel. There are a lot of things in art that you can learn by practicing or studying, but feel’s not one of them. It’s something you’ve just got to have.” – Cautious Clay

Cautious Clay cites Burt Bacharach as an idol and credit Stevie Wonder and Quincy Jones as ever-present influences in his artful arrangements.

He writes with unflinching honesty, engaging in deeply personal self-reflection with boldly vulnerable and vividly poetic lyrics.
