The events throughout the last 2yrs have felt overwhelming. At the very least for me, though I’m sure a lot of you can relate.
Today I’m releasing a song that helps remind me where I was before COVID. A song written during the catastrophic Australian bushfires, ‘Fight For The Bite’ campaigns, (amongst many other things) in late 2019.
For all the negatives & positives that came with a pandemic, I am reminded today how much it has pushed me inward, into isolation, introversion & certainly narrowed the scope of what I could focus on & what I could do.
This song is like reading a diary entry from end 2019. Reminding me that as we come back to somewhat normality there is a lot that needs to be done outside our own little sphere.
As we’ve seen, the world can change in an instant. So I implore everyone to think about the impacts of our daily activities & see if there are some small places we can make better choices. Simply being kinder, using less single purpose plastic, or even change processes within our companies structures.
I hope this song & clip resonates with that message. I know it has kicked me back into gear. I hope you’re all holding strong & things are looking up & we can start working towards the big & important things again.
Much love
Emoh

Lyrics:
Yeah I knew if from the start
when I stained you from the dark
You keep on messin’ me up
You keep on messin’ me up
All my colors red & blue
Now I steal them back from you
You keep on messin’ me up
You keep on messin’ me up
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m gonna back me up
I’m gonna set me off
I’m gonna get me one
Gonna Regret me uh
I… I’m gonna set my fire
You keep on messin’ me up
You keep on messin’ me up
You keep on messin’ me up
You keep on messin’ me up
You keep on messin’ me up
Yeah I knew if from the start
Counting fractures of my heart
Yeah it gets me every time
I don’t want to sit in lies
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m gonna back me up
I’m gonna set me off
You keep on pushing me
I’m gonna break into counter attack
me uh
I… I’m gonna set my fire
You keep on messin’ me up
