Jacob Fitzgerald released one of my favourite EPs of 2022, so I’m thrilled to see this Naarm/Melbourne-based musician back on the scene with the release of “Hurt Me Harder.” This is another stellar effort from Jacob. I can’t wait to crank it up on long car trips. And you can never go wrong when you add a sax solo!
“I find that the deepest forms of love can at times drive you a little crazy. For good or ill. These feelings are usually exacerbated in times of heartbreak and loss, also for good or ill. That’s the throughline of ‘Hurt Me Harder’,” Jacob explained. “It’s about neglecting your feelings of pain to the point of insanity. The whole chorus is a message of ‘nothing you could do would ever hurt me… I’ll always love you’ whilst the heartache is dominating your world. It’s about putting someone on a pedestal, blaming yourself, bottling the pain, and using love as the excuse.”
Jacob Fitzgerald is about to wrap up his Three’s Company tour with Cheap Date and False London. Catch these three amazing talents while you can!
