Toronto rockers Violent Night recently released their new EP, "A N T I H E R O E S". To celebrate, we asked guitarist/vocalist Connor Pohl to tell us about the single "losing my mind'. Here is the story:
Losing my mind was written during a period where I felt there was a void, or intentional distance that I placed between myself and those around me. I wasn't feeling particularly inspired at that point in time as the p*ndemic was fairly soul crushing (sayonara). The opening line "jet black backpack, always on the run" is autobiographical, because at that time I was walking/running 20km a day, and I always had a black backpack on. The line "not interested in fairytales or living with someone" was a stark contrast to how I had usually perceived myself to be - somewhat of a romantic, a little bit on the dreamy side, but during this period I really wanted to be left alone. Not because I was upset or depressed - anything like that, but periods of introspection I think are key for growth and self development. Sometimes motives for the way we act might not be crystal clear, but if there's a longing in you for something and it isn't hurting anyone, then it's an itch I would encourage you to scratch. For me it was a little distance. What did I find during my introspection? I actually contemplated quitting music entirely. The thing about that I've come to realize, is when I genuinely consider quitting music it really sucks the life out of me. It's as though life becomes a colourless and tasteless scoop of ice cream that I'm eating just for the sake of it, but I'm not really enjoying it. (continue)
