Irish artist Ocean Tisdall might have just written one of the most beautiful breakup songs of the year, the incredibly moving ‘Jealous’.
We’ve all been through it – when a relationship falls apart and we watch the person who was once such a big part of our lives move on, while we ourselves struggle to come to terms. Ocean explains:
‘‘I wrote ‘Jealous’ in April this year up in Edinburgh with my friend and producer, Prentice. The song is about watching someone move on so easily after heartbreak – as if what you had meant nothing – while you’re left completely paralysed. It’s that feeling of seeing them eating, sleeping, and going out like normal, while you can’t even function, and realising how unaffected they are compared to you.
‘Jealous’ explores that uncomfortable emotion that most of us don’t like to admit feeling. We’re often taught that jealousy is ugly – that it makes us seem bitter or small – so instead of understanding it, we tend to push it away or hate ourselves for feeling it. But really, jealousy often just points to an unfulfilled need in your own life that someone else has managed to meet in theirs. After writing the song, I realised that jealousy fades once you start recognising your own worth, rebuilding your self-esteem, and Realising your value isn’t determined by someone else’s affection or attention.”
Ocean’s music has seen him get compared to the likes of Lewis Capaldi, Cian Ducrot, and Tom Odell. As a songwriter, he never shies away from sharing his most heartfelt thoughts and emotions, creating meaningful connections with listeners all across the world.
