POV: It’s May 2020 and COVID is in full swing. Government guidelines seem to change by the hour and the population is afraid. People begin grasping at any hope they can as minds melt away and mental health declines in isolation. Some begin to latch on to conspiracy theories and fall victim to misinformation. The population is divided into two: Scientific evidence and YouTube.

...That’s where 'Not Like That' begins. 

'Not Like That' explores the emotional rollercoaster and frustrations of real conversations I had with a conspiracy theorist during the early days of the pandemic. It remains quite relevant to the times as we find ourselves becoming more reliant on and connected to the internet. Having access to infinite amounts of information is beyond incredible- but it is equally as dangerous. 

Every person who uses the internet is exposed to misinformation. Sadly, some are more susceptible to it than others. I believe that we should always be curious. We should question the way the world is laid out for us. But when suspicious ideas become foundations that risk lives-or harbour fear/hate/division- that's when it crosses the line from inquisitive to destructive. 

The final recording was reworked with Tadhg Daly (Singer Songwriter) and Dustin Dooley (Producer/Songwriter)  in London, UK 2021.  I hope you love it as much as I do x
