I’m tired of having very little impact, how about you? This song reflects the sense of exhaustion we all feel from living through American decline. It’s the first [early release] single from Vol. 2 of “No Love Songs,” due out this fall.
The first of two albums I’m releasing in 2025, delivered in two volumes. The first is called ”No Love Songs, Vol. 1,” comprised of pre-released tracks.
It’s clear we’re at the End of Something. Dying democracy, rise of authoritarianism, impending climate catastrophe, and unspeakable violence daily. Complete system failure feels imminent, doesn’t it?
Numbness is what they want – it keeps us paralyzed to action. Feel something. Throw kindling on your empathy and let your anger burn. Action is the antidote to apathy.
Dissociation is what happens when your body is in one place but your brain is in a way different place. It’s a totally understandable response right now.
Disinformation is deployed by those in power to keep us apart, distracted by tribalism and bitter in-fighting. Collective action is only possible when we see and experience commonality and cohesion.
A switch flips and you do something unexpected. Before you know it, you’re on a journey of self-reflection. On a winding road of personal growth, confronting past versions of yourself. But are we too late?
How do we know what’s real anymore? When we’re surrounded by things such as AI, chatbots, and deepfakes – it’s disorienting. That’s on purpose, of course. It makes urgent the trivial and unimportant to keep our attention focused away from the systems of power and oppression.
