Walt Disco have released another single from their upcoming album ‘Unlearning’.
Speaking of the track, singer Jocelyn has said, it’s “about recognising the version of yourself that you love. And it’s not always easy to have that be the one that faces the world. Lyrically, it’s a dream-like internal conversation between my mother and I, from small talk to mannerisms I’ve had since childhood. Such conversations come to mind when you change your name and gender; but it doesn’t erase these memories. I hope to live in a world where parents can allow themselves to understand the upset they may feel when a child makes this decision but can love and support them all the same.”
“Everyone has a side of themselves that at some point, or maybe always, they feel they need to keep hidden away,” the band have added. “This track explores the isolation of hiding a part of yourself and the euphoria of the times when you can let it out. The despairing lyrical matter of the verses opens into the joyous choruses, it’s meant to feel transformative to represent the idea of leaving your shame in the past and finding the strength to start anew.”
