The secrets of Loyle Carner's powerful and personal Glastonbury set
As on the album, he uses his personal story to explore bigger frustrations with the world.
"I want to speak up for teachers. I want to speak up for nurses," he tells the BBC. "I want to speak up for the people in my community. I feel a responsibility for the people that I'm around."The stage was designed to look like a car window, offering the audience a glimpse into Carner's inner life "We treat them like they're babysitters [when] they're basically the last line of defence for so many kids who, for whatever reason, are struggling at home."and hospitals as a Catch 22 situation, that ends up hurting the pupils they're supposed to mentor.
He was helped out by an impeccably funky live band - including special guest Olivia Dean - who added depth and texture to his lyrical meditations. "That's cool to an extent, but it can cripple you if you let it go further than an initial youthful rebellion." Carner says it's a cathartic act to come out every night "so frustrated and broken-hearted with the way the world is going" and end in "a place of forgiveness, not only for my father, but also for myself."Image caption,On stage, he offered his story up as an example to the audience.
