Romanticise<\/strong><\/a>, which was released in November last year.<\/p>\nSpeaking about the new single, vocalist Lynsey Ward<\/strong> says, \u201c42<\/strong> is a song about paranoia, conspiracy theories and confirmation bias \u2013 it is written from the perspective of someone who has lost touch with reality, seeing patterns in their day\u2011to\u2011day life that are leading them to some answer, or a warning \u2013 but never quite getting the full picture of what it could all mean. Thematically, the song was drawn from personal experience in childhood, where a few coincidences with numbers could spiral into a feeling of being \u2018followed\u2019 by a number or symbol, and like the storyline of the rest of your life was being written with this at the centre, or as a clue.<\/em><\/p>\nConspiracy theories are more rife than ever, especially after spreading like wildfire during the pandemic. We wanted to present this as a sympathetic look at how something so simple can go so wrong, and where that desperation can lead; a state of anxiety, isolation, and losing touch with the world around you. The great irony is that, to some degree, we have now become the people in the story. We each notice the number 42<\/strong> so regularly now that we update one another every time it pops up somewhere unexpected.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nWatch the official video for 42 here:<\/strong><\/p>\n
