NEW SINGLE RELEASE – PROJECTOR ‘Dubious Goals Committee’
8 January 2024
Penny Sleeps is HONEYMOAN’s most recent release of 2024 and while keeping in similar sound to their previous songs, this single feels just that little bit more special. If this is what we are to expect from the band in 2024, then we are very excited.
This single is about how fragile mental health is and how we cope with it. Talking about new thinly vailed ways that people try and get their lives together. A whole verse of the song pokes fun on the new wave of selfcare on social media, particularly the line “Try take up more space is what astrologers on TikTok say.”. The whole song discusses how these faint attempts we make to better ourselves rarely last long.
The chorus of the song is essentially drilling into your head that all of these small attempts to better yourself, yeah, they can help in the short term but after a little knock it will all come down. This song conveys perfectly what so many people are feeling right now and trying to fix.
The lyrics of the song are not the only thing that conveys this either. Throughout the whole song you have distorted vocals and guitar riffs. This isn’t new to HONEYMOAN. Previous songs such as ‘Show you off’ or ‘Pickup, Don’t Pick up’ also have something similar going on, but with this song it just adds that’s extra bit to the meaning. The distortion of the music gives another meaning to the song, you aren’t just hearing what the songs about, but you are also feeling it. Anyone familiar with what emotions this song is about will know what it feels like, and even though it’s different for everyone, a lot will tell you it feels a lot like this instrumental (Even though the instrumental sounds a lot better).
