Music is definitely something we can all turn to when we’re feeling down, and Neon Dreams channel their real life experiences into their gorgeous alt-pop anthems in hopes that it will provide that little escape we need… especially during times like these!
The Halifax based duo just dropped their new single “Sick of Feeling Useless”, a song for those of us who might not always feel like we belong.
“Before every session, we try to talk about how we’re feeling,” says vocalist Frank Kadillac. “At this point, before the song was made we were discussing with our good friend and collaborator Nathaniel Motte from the band 3OH3! about how it’s easy to feel helpless…like nothing we do matters that much. Then Nat said ‘ya know…I think everyone is just sick of feeling useless.’ It hit so hard with me cause I felt that way my whole life growing up I felt useless until I broke out of my shell…if my fans are different versions of me this is the biggest thing that connects us on this island of misfit toys. People that feel like they don’t matter in this world and are constantly searching for a place to belong, a place that makes them feel like a kid again.”
“I have stories to tell from a place of love to other people who are like me,” he goes on to say. “My main goal has been to reach as many people as I can and spread a positive message. I feel like I need to get out the message to people who are like me, because I don’t know anybody else who’s doing it.”
Lord (and honestly anyone who follows me on Instagram) knows I can relate to this 100%. Part of the reason why this blog came about was because I literally didn’t feel like I was capable of doing anything else. I was never athletic, never really went to parties, I always felt like the outcast growing up… so what can a girl do?
Even now, I have this really bad habit of constantly comparing myself to other folks who run music outlets and just thinking I’m not good enough. As you can probably tell, I don’t have formal writing/journalism training. I’d say at least 4 times a week something ends up getting thrown my way that (usually unintentionally) makes me feel like I’m so bad at this stuff. I don’t think I’m good at anything else honestly, but I hope others can connect with my antics!
If you felt what I just said (in some way, shape, or form) then this song is probably for you too. Let’s embrace it!
