The Songs
- “A Reason To Change”
A haunting reflection on the devastating effects of addiction, this track delves into the theme of unprocessed loss. James comments, “It’s difficult when you see someone you love struggling with addiction. So much of life is dealing with the unexpected. Alcohol is one of those coping strategies that is so socially accepted, it goes under the radar.” - “Times Change”
This single combines a hummable chorus with philosophical musings. James reflects, “I was thinking about how external change doesn’t always bring about internal change. We hold onto a version of ourselves that is no longer helping us.” - “Manboy”
A lighter, catchy tune that offers a tongue-in-cheek perspective from a dissatisfied partner. “It’s a fun song, really,” James explains, “but it still ties into the theme of dealing with unexpected situations.”
