He has played acoustic guitar in such songs as "Your Eyes Open" since the 2006 UK tour, and during 2007 played acoustic solos of "Broken Toy" and "The Frog Prince".

Right from the moment it was written, “The Wave” felt like it would be a perfect way to close the record. It’s all about becoming at peace with the unpredictable nature of our existence as humans. For so long I fought to control my feelings—I tried and failed to turn my sadness into happiness, or to make my happiness last for as long as possible. My producer, Matt Hales, describes the song as a “prayer for grace”. I think this sums it up; we’re all at the mercy of a life and a universe more mysterious than we’ll ever understand. The important thing for me these days is not to fight it, and taking the good and bad in my stride, I’ve come to terms with my existence. I’ve decided to make myself available to life.

Chaplin and his band will mark the arrival of MIDPOINT with a series of UK headline dates beginning this October. For updates, please visit www.tomchaplinmusic.com.

After the band members began new projects, Chaplin began using drugs due to anxiety over the album and "thought [he] was going to die" in early 2015: "When I finally liberated myself from years of spiraling addiction, a place of inspiration and creativity became available to me. I set about writing an album that documents my transition from the darkest recesses of human experience to a place of resolution, fulfillment and happiness. At long last I am comfortable in my own skin and have achieved that elusive dream of writing a set of songs I can truly call my own."

Above all, though, The Wave is a reminder of our potential for rebirth after personal turmoil, and the power of finding strength in vulnerability.
