I’m so proud of this song, and I hope you’ll like it too.

I wrote it during a bit of a quarter-life crisis, when trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life. Like many of us, I had always believed that if I just worked hard enough and proved myself worthy through collecting achievements, everything would fall into place, and success would find me. I realised that this is untrue. I found myself in a job that dampened my spirit, feeling like an awkward impostor, longing for something more, and mourning the future I’d envisaged for myself that never came. This song is for anyone who’s experienced that feeling of getting to your twenties and entering the ‘real world,’ thinking: “is this it?”

This song is for anyone who wishes they were doing something more profound with their 9-to-5 – may we persevere in our quest to find our calling, bravely and with longing.
