This may be an unlikely title for a catchy singalong, but “Is not everything morbid?” could be Joe's biggest song yet!

After a couple of years where nobody can pretend everything is going great, maybe this is the time to embrace the darker side of things. His new song does this, but also celebrates what we can achieve, nonetheless. 

The song takes its inspiration from American early twentieth century writer Djuna Barnes, who led a very unconventional life and when she was accused of her writing being too dark replied: “Is not everything morbid?” Joe's message here is that no matter how dark and bleak things are, we can confront them and create something new. We can push back against those things in our lives that are unfair and oppressive, but only if we recognise them.

Is Not Everything Morbid?

duo.. its cold outside

“Conversations” is about the frustration of one-sided love — giving everything while the other person offers only half-measures. It’s a song about self-worth, clarity, and the moment you realize you deserve more.

Written, performed, and produced by Estella Dawn, “Conversations” blends raw vulnerability with strength, moving from intimate piano to soaring alt-pop intensity.

For fans of BANKS, Gracie Abrams, Halsey and Dermot Kennedy. 
Mood: emotive • cinematic • dark-pop • powerful

Conversations

Halloween is without doubt my favourite holiday. I hope you can add this subtle track to your festivities.

I love bass, I hate trump. I could do this all day.

Trump Sucks (An Instrumental)

The Quiet Voice

Something stands always out of sight 
A glimpse of life as it might have been 
And though my eyes strain to recognise 
It still remains ever out of reach.  

Wings made of wax and boots of lead 
On solid ground and afraid to fly 
A rope that binds me to the earth 
A thread that tempts me to the sky.  

A rope that binds me to the earth 
A thread that tempts me to the sky.

Words: Sharl

I like djembe and singing like a monster sometimes.
