Go Alone is a lamentation turned mantra. Despite so many of the narratives within modern living, we are not individual units navigating life. It can be hard to remember sometimes just how dependent we need to be on each other to build the world we all want and care for all the lives within it. Go Alone captures the tipping point of self-oriented despair giving birth to realisation. Though we are constantly adrift and often in discomfort, with the vulnerability to reach out to another that evergreen truth emerges: we are never truly on our own.

Trying to build the peaceful and connected world we all want can be deeply isolating. The suffering of our collective failures leads to much bitterness which gives voice to angry, divisive ideas. ‘Say No More’ is a lamentation, but also a determined commitment - we have the knowledge and skills we need to end the worst of suffering and celebrate the best in each other. Let’s not be distracted by the whisperings of others and get to work building the world we deserve to share.

Simply put, this song is a call to get out of our heads and celebrate the vibrancy of life. The music propels this message with an Afro-Caribbean rhythm, spiritual jazz melodies, and a Mauritian sega outro. Many of us desperately want to help our planet, but the social change required to do so cannot be achieved without a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of everyone and everything. The song’s lyrics describe a person trapped in negative, selfish thought patterns, who comes to realize that they are not the centre of the universe.
