NEW SINGLE RELEASE: NOTHING SOCIAL

This song was supposed to be called « Instagram is trying to kill me » but the distributors didn’t let me. So I called it Nothing Social.

It is a song for all the creators out there who struggle with the social media tyrants.

For the artists who want to make music for the reasons, and in the way, people have made music for millennia. 

But who find themselves forced to make content instead, in order to be seen, let alone heard. 

For those who yearn for connection with their audiences, but the platforms leave us all more disconnected. For anyone who has something to say but the algorithms aren’t interested. 

For anyone who think there is more to life, more to music, than what can be bought or sold. That we are more than consumers, despite what we are told.

Where can you find it?

I made the difficult decision to not have my music on Spotify or Amazon anymore, because their actions do not align with my values. So you can find “Nothing Social” on all platforms apart from those two.

ON YouTube

ON TIDAL

The Lyrics

Instagram is trying to kill me
Spotify’s lending a hand
They’re Goliaths to my David
Only he had a better brand
Only he had a better brand

Up against the algorithms
I’ve run out of things to say
And I’m never in the mood for filming
My body’s always in the way
My body’s always in the way

This doesn’t feed me
This doesn’t feel real to me
This doesn’t feed me
This doesn’t feel free

Consumer, consume me
Modify me, commodify me
Human, see through me 
Modify me, commodify me

I keep forgetting that there’s nothing social
About the media that fills our days
Who cares if I show you the inside of my heart
If it has no value to drive up sales
If it had no value to drive up sales

This doesn’t feed me
This doesn’t feel real to me
This doesn’t feed me
This doesn’t feel free

Consumer, consume me
Modify me, commodify me
Human, see through me 
Modify me, commodify me

I wish that I could do without it
Keep my songs for the trees and the birds
But would they really serve their purpose
If they weren’t up against the world, world, world. 

If they weren’t up against the

Consumer, consume me
Modify me, commodify me
Human, see through me 
Modify me, commodify me
