#going invisible

"This is the one that got away, one of my favourites of the Get Lonely bunch. We did not manage to better the demo in the studio. That's the yardstick: Studio version beats the demo or the song doesn't make the record. At some point I shared that demo online; had I not done so on the day I did that, it'd be lost forever, most likely, since the laptop from which I shared the demo is now dead. Those studio sessions still exist, though; they're on two-inch reels in my dark basement, magnetic particles slowly shedding, seeking their destiny. Going away. Going invisible."

“I’m going to break something I’m going to break something today and sweep all the pieces away”

I’ve listened to Going Invisible 2 so many times, but I think this is the first time I’ve heard part 1. I know this is a breakup song, but as always, that means nothing to me, because this is about gender now. It’s about trying so desperately to fit into what’s expected of you and finding you just can’t measure up to that. You’ve got to find your breaking point, either you break yourself into what they want, or you break out of those expectations. Only you can decide what the next step is, and only you can deal with the fallout.
