Will Joseph Cook has shared his new single detailing the travails of modern life: 'The Dragon'.
The track follows 'Hey Brother' as his first new material since 2017's debut album 'Sweet Dreamer', and was premiered last night (September 18) by Annie Mac on her BBC Radio 1 show.
“'The Dragon' is pointing at our collective apathy and inaction towards the biggest problems in our world,” says Will. “I’m singing about that personal feeling of helplessness, knowing that none of these problems can be solved by an individual alone. Living with that knowledge can be difficult. The change needs to be huge and systemic, and that’s almost as overwhelming as the problems themselves.
“The song is about striving to stay positive and loving,” he explains. “Whilst living in the shadow of several huge global problems like the climate and political unrest. Turning on each other distracts us from finding the real solutions. My generation is hyper focused on it but at the same time generally speaking no one can do anything about it and we're in a powerless position.”
