Behind The Tracks: Sweet Ignitions - Hook (Single) (2020)

It was written in desperation almost. I had a company employing a few guys and it was falling apart as was my relationship with my wife at the time. The two seemed to merge and the emotions from both felt a little similar as both had been long term, over years. My wife was hurting more but the company was tough too, a lot of commitment to a lot of people and I didn’t want to let anybody down.

I remember that I’d had a particularly difficult day with regards both and a lot of people seemed to be on my case. I didn’t know what to do, where to turn or how to move forward at that point. My normal way to write songs would be music and melody first and then lyrics but this time I picked up a pen and the words just came quickly. It was like Therapy!

So the crux of what the song is about is wanting to escape everything as life feels full of pressure but knowing that you can’t. Plus not knowing what to do next or where your place in the world is. Being Lost in effect.
