about

‘Nausea’ is the third single from his highly anticipated new album ‘Broadcast The Secret Verse’, scheduled for release in November 2022.

The track is an homage to the great 20th existentialist thinkers, exploring their writing in a modern day context. It looks at the nauseating sense of isolation and detachment fuelling our struggle to find meaning in an increasingly desolate and fragmented modern world. Ultimately it embraces the liberating idea of looking within to define our own sense of grounding and purpose, reducing our reliance on precarious and fickle external factors.

Nausea is an anthem for those weighed down by the cosmic loneliness of 21st Century life, striving to generate their own sense of worth, in the shadow of a 24 hour media that would have us defined by duhmanising factors like wealth, status and online presence.

lyrics

I will meet you down
Way down at the bottom of everything.

It was 2am, parked up at the petrol station,
We’d decided God was dead.
You were cool with that.

I'd been so unhappy for so long,
And I don’t think I could tell you.
I’d been counting on you thinking I
Would be strong enough to be worth your while.

I will meet you down
Way down at the bottom of everything.

You turned you face away, as we drowned
In the cosmic loneliness,
While 'Figure 8' played loud through the stereo.

There was no deceit, no higher brain
We embraced the overarching pain
That belied our sweet, elated freedom
To face a world devoid of meaning.

I will meet you down
Way down at the bottom of everything.

Where the tectonic plates subside.
Rip through me, burn my eyes.
You’ll feel your core divide
At the very bottom of everything.
