about
The song and video address the impact of social media on our lives and examines the nature of human connections. This song is one of the oldest on the album and I wrote it shortly after re-locating to London.
Over time the song has developed and its meaning has shifted slightly for me. What started as a song about my own anxiety and feelings of displacement has now developed into a more collective concern regarding balance, inclusion and the societal factions that seem to be growing in the modern world – prescriptive lifestyles, social dogmas, technology and social media, all of which can create a sterile and lonely environment for many.” It’s a thoughtful commentary on modern society.

lyrics
... My bag on my shoulder, my book in my hands, people watching
I'm lonesome but that comes from a change and these days I feed from my emotions. Why won't it bend, why must it break? ...
I'm lonesome but that comes from a change and these days I feed from my emotions. Why won't it bend, why must it break? ...
