Hear As Everything Unfolds’ almighty new single WHAT YOU WANTED, featuring a cameo from Bury Tomorrow frontman Dani Winter-Bates.
As Everything Unfolds have dropped a new single with Dani Winter-Bates of Bury Tomorrow.
Entitled WHAT YOU WANTED, the track tackles the topic of alcoholism and was also inspired by that being a theme in Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 classic horror The Shining.
“Over the last two years, I have watched various people in my life struggle with addiction issues, mostly related to alcohol,” explains vocalist Charlie Rolfe. ‘It’s painful and difficult to watch your most beloved people in your life destroy themselves every single day, and not be able to help them. You find it frustrating not being able to help them, not being to do anything, and being angry at their lack of empathy for the pain they put you through every day.
“I found a lot of relatable things in the ’80s film The Shining which is famously seen as an allegory for alcoholism, with Jack [Torrance, played by Jack Nicholson]’s family being concerned for his health, his wellbeing, seeing him in slow decline. His family are frustrated with the situation he put them in alongside being terrified of him when he is the worst version of himself. It made me realise that I was often frustrated and terrified on that person and felt like I was living in my own Overlook Hotel at times, trying to desperately save that person, but also sometimes the best thing to do is to just get out. I used this world as a creative vessel to tell my own story.”
