Lessons Not Learned
Does it ever feel like the same lessons are being ignored over and over?
This song is a bit different, a calm, haunting Americana duet that looks at the "fools" kicking up dust and the power plays we see every day. This song is for anyone who has ever felt like they're watching a "board game" they didn't sign up for. It’s a song about the lessons we don't learn and the clocks that keep ticking while the world plays along.
A haunting, mid-tempo ballad that asks the questions we often try to ignore. "What’s Going On" explores the disconnect between those who hold the power and the "far-off cries" of those affected by their games.
Featuring a soulful male-female duet, the track is anchored by a mournful bottleneck slide guitar and a haunting saxophone that drifts through the arrangement like smoke. It’s a song for the moments when you realise the clocks are still ticking, even when no lessons are being learned. Quote from the song: “Power lies in the hands of the few you can’t agree with...”
Artist’s Reflection: "This song isn't about finding answers; it's about acknowledging the frustration of watching the same 'board games' being played over and over. It’s a reminder that while the 'fools' might be kicking up dust, we’re still here, noticing the silence between the ticks of the clock."
