Full Of Glitter is about the duality of Nihilism and Imposter Syndrome that rips through me like sudden lightning bolts. It's a song that flowed out of me fast like blood from a fresh, deep cut.

I struggle with Imposter Syndrome, and feel like I am either too much or not enough. I was feeling it heavily the day I wrote this tune. When I write, I have a tendency to get in my head thinking I need to be deep, profound and poetic. Sometimes I feel like I talk a big game as an artist with little to show. Writing this tune was an exercise in getting out of my head and saying what was on my heart and mind in a way that was direct and straightforward.

Hence the line ‘I’m full of shit, I’m full of glitter.’

I struggle deeply with depression that manifests in numbness and nihilism. I go through long droughts feeling like nothing matters and there is no point so why bother. And at the same time, everything means the world to me and I am constantly on a search for beauty and meaning.

Hence the line ‘Nothing really matters, and everything means the world to me.’

My struggles with depression and imposter syndrome also manifests in deep jealousy. I cannot stop comparing myself to others. And that constant comparison as an artist keeps me feeling artistically constipated. I know I have a team around me ready to help me grow and succeed yet I still find myself walking around with a bitter taste in my mouth.

Hence the line, ‘I’m filled with love and I’m feeling bitter.’

I wanted the approach and production of this song to be a departure from my usual indie folk sensibilities. I worked with my bandmates and my producer, Chase Horseman, to make this song sound post rock and massive. This again was an exercise in releasing the reserves and letting go. I am afraid of being ‘too much’. So I leaned into that fear and wrote something that feels more intense than I’ve ever written.
