“DON’T YOU SEE ME TRYING” is out 11TH FEBRUARY !!! :’D ✧:・.☽˚｡・& …. it is the next song from my third EP “PAREIDOLIA” which is out 27th FEBRUARY & thrilled to say u can pre save now !!!! :’D
PAREIDOLIA pronounced: (pa-ray-doe-lee-ah) & defined as “the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things or ideas”
this song and this project are my proudest work. the work i have kept closest to my chest. the work i have spent every spare moment thinking about this last year.
DON’T YOU SEE ME TRYING is a song about self sabotaging when things get good. the euphoria, the danger, the mess, the reckless abandon of throwing yourself back into a downwards spiral because you can’t tell the thin line between flying and falling. it is a return to old patterns and behaviours because it feels familiar. it feels exciting sometimes. it is one of the most important songs i’ve written i think, for myself. it was cathartic to make.
PAREIDOLIA is a self written and produced EP that tells the story of a downwards spiral. the tale of falling down a rabbit hole, a willing return to self destruction, seeing how far you can go. the true definition of “pareidolia” is “the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things or ideas” eg. seeing shapes in clouds, or a face in the moon. it is a distorted, warped perspective of reality and of self, it’s the brains way of seeking familiar patterns that make us feel safe. this EP is not me leading by example, it is a crossroads, a cautionary tale to myself. a body of work that i have lived vicariously through all of last year. it is bitterly close to my heart and although the EP is centred around a warped twist of reality, a fantasy, a distorted view of yourself and the world, it is a very honest EP for me. making it was a freeing and complex and twisted but transformative process. i have poured everything into this. thanku for ur love and kindness on everything.
