It’s About A Character That Finds It Easier To Be Complicit Or Performative In Fear Of Actually Speaking Up About How They Feel. And It Was In Light Of The Black Lives Matter Protests Last Year And The Movement. I Didn’t Have Any Answers So I Kind Of Just Wanted To Write A Song That Gave A Little Bit Of The Sign Of The Times And Also One That Held Myself Accountable. Because I Think We Were All Guilty Of Being Complacent And Performative Because Of Fear And The Fear Of Cancel Culture. ‘Feet Don’t Fail Me Now’ Is A Song I Wrote In Light Of The Political Events Of Last Year. It’s Written From The Perspective Of Someone Who Finds It Easier To Remain Complicit Out Of Fear Of Speaking Up And What Those Consequences Might Be. I Think The Chorus Is Universal And I Hope It Can Be A Call To Action. We Are All Guilty Of Being This Character. Ultimately I Hope The Song Encourages People To Be A Bit Braver – It’s Important To Open Up A Dialogue Speak Out Make Mistakes – That’s Okay And That’s How Progress Happens. This Song Is One Of The Most Complicated Songs I’ve Ever Written In A Good Way . The Track Carries With It A Deep Sense Of Irony It’s Written From The Perspective Of Someone Who Finds It Easier To Remain Complicit Out Of A Fear Of Being Cancelled. During The Social And Political Turmoil Of The Last 12 Months Performative Behaviour Has Become Prevalent Alongside Cancel Culture. These Two Reactions I Think Are Often Intertwined As Cancel Culture Can Be A Response To Half Hearted Performatism. In Some Sense You Can Sympathise With The Perspective I’m Singing From Because Cancel Culture Is Scary As Is Re-Educating Yourself And Challenging Your Friends And Families. Ultimately I Hope The Song Encourages People To Be A Bit Braver Whilst The Themes Are Clear In My Head The Chorus Is Universal – ‘man I Guess I Was Scared Feet Don’t Fail Me Now I Got To Stand My Ground And Though I’m Down For Trying I Am Better In Denial So I Hush Don’t Make A Sound’. Open Up A Dialogue Speak Out Make Mistakes – That’s Okay And That’s How Progress Happens.
