Known for not revealing the band’s lyrics, vocalist Leah Stanhope offers one interpretation: “‘This Life’ is an ode to being delusional—you know, people who moan about having the worst time but in reality they've got a roof over their heads and food to eat, and ultimately, it’s not that deep.”
Guitarist Jamie Chellar adds: “The chorus was inspired by Prince, especially the album Parade. I took such care to make sure the funky guitar had those cutting edges Prince could get, like on “I Wonder U”. The song is about the toll day to day life can have on us, we’re all living in our worlds and trying to do our best, but sometimes that’s not enough.”
“Musicality is very important to us,” says Chellar. “The song is the most important thing. It’s about the joy of crafting it, it's more than just a means to an end to go on tour or get a message across.” Or as Stanhope interprets them: “Imagine a person with four ropes tied to them. Then we each take a rope and furiously try to pull it in our own direction. The person is the song.”
Join Hands, the band's debut album, follows the release of their second EP, Slap.
