[@ives3572]

“This track is definitely the most manic on the record in regard to the overall song and chord structure. It was recorded as an instrumental originally, and just sat in my Dropbox for a while because I didn’t know how to put words to it. Sometimes the music speaks so loudly that it’s almost hard to put language over it - I think that music is a language in itself and so the words you put with it have to be symbiotic. So that song remained unfinished until I had the worst two weeks of my life where I wasn’t sleeping, I wasn’t eating, and my mental health had just completely deteriorated. I had an increase in irrational thoughts and suicidal ideations. I was contemplating whether to take my own life, and it wasn’t until I sat down to track the vocals and heard the completed version of this song that I thought to myself, ‘Man, I’m not okay’. It took hearing that song to realise that I was in a place I neither wanted to be, nor was a safe place to be in. I am a person whose mind is not a safe place to stay in, and that’s exactly what ‘Mushroom Cloud’ is about. Sometimes seeing it written down on paper and hearing those thoughts out loud helps you realise that you need to take steps to handle things. I think a lot of songwriters are stuck on that narrative of, ‘Well I was feeling bad and then I went and recorded this song and I felt better’, but I didn’t have that. For a long time after I recorded ‘Mushroom Cloud’ I couldn’t listen to it, it would make me really upset. I’d get about three quarters of the way through it and would have to turn it off, but it’s something that I understand was a catalyst in pushing me towards ways of catharsis. It was a bit of a damaging one, but that’s what perspective is all about.” - Aaron Pauley
