Alt-pop artist No Love For The Middle Child tackles the subject of pessimism with his new single, ‘Broken Wings’.
For anyone out there who always seems to look at life with the glass half empty, this song might add some perspective to your ways of thinking. The lyrics remind us that as we live this life, we have to do our best to make the most of it. As the artist explains:
“The concept of the song started with a random image in my head – an angel sitting on a park bench, smoking a cigarette, bored while living in heaven. Everything is glowing and white, but their wings are rusty and there’s rain cloud over their head. As if heaven has the same monotony real life does. ‘Broken Wings’ is about a pessimist never being happy with what they have or for what they’ve already earned. As soon as they get what they want, they’re on to the next. I think it speaks to a part of everyone, a part that is fueled by the pace of the world we live in. If we can’t be happy and enjoy the ride, what’s the point of it all?”
