‘This Is Going To Hurt’ director Lucy Forbes spoke of Cocker’s contribution to the show in a statement, saying: “As one of England’s finest lyricists and songwriters we could not have been more thrilled to have Jarvis Cocker and his band write original songs and score for ‘This Is Going to Hurt’.”
She added: “His incisive wit, keen sense of observation and ability to write beautiful heartfelt melodies was the perfect fit. His music immediately intertwined with the fabric and tone of the show and took it to a whole new level, getting right to the heart of the pathos, pain and joy of working at the NHS. It was a huge privilege to work with him on this project, and I can’t imagine TIGTH without him.”
JARV IS… released their debut album ‘Beyond The Pale’ in the summer of 2020 via Rough Trade.
