If you’re having one of those workdays that can’t end fast enough, allow yourself a couple of minutes to bliss out to “145,” the latest single from Sydney singer-songwriter Euan Hart. It’s a bit of a slow burner, but trust me, when it kicks in, you’ll be glad you stuck with it. This dreamy number is a sonic equivalent of an afternoon chocolate bar, soothing and so satisfying. The song was born out of the angst Euan felt during his studies.
“I was just starting back at uni and had a lot of anxiety around why I was there, why everyone was there,” Euan explained. “I felt a little strange about how these marks were determined by people that had simply done the same thing I was doing, but for a longer period of time.
The song’s music video, produced and directed by Euan and Jack Moran, is the second in a three-part series.
“Generally the trilogy is about mental health and being overwhelmed by other people’s expectations,” Euan said. “The biggest thing that annoys me in life is people not being nice to each other. It sounds simple and cheesy but surely it’s something everyone wants!”
Sydney, you can see Euan, one of the nice guys of the music industry, headlining a show at the OAF Gallery on August 4.
