Can a song help you get over a nightmare?

I wrote “Go It Alone” to help me after a terrible dream. You can hear it when my album comes out in 4 days’ time.

#TBT my song “Work For It” from June 2021.

One of my very favourite songs of mine to blast out. Just 808, guitar, vocals and an amount of energy I find it hard to muster for anything else.

#TBT my cover of “Don’t Let Go (Love)” by En Vogue (Jan 2021).

Caught EV live in Vicar St a few years ago, went straight home and learned this. Amazing song and so much fun to play. But those lyrics are dark as feck.
