With its highly relatable yet inspirational lyrics, O\u2019Connor describes perfectly what it feels like to not feel satisfied with the path that you\u2019re on and changing direction to something that makes you happy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Explaining the true meaning of the single, O\u2019Connor states:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIt\u2019s about how you don\u2019t ask yourself \u2018am I happy\u2019, and then you find\u00a0real\u00a0happiness, and you\u00a0realise, I wasn\u2019t happy at all, I was just in a rut, sleepwalking through life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The singer returned to the music scene in 2018 after 5 years. During this time, he worked as a journalist. He knew he was taking a big risk leaving his job to return to music but it was a risk worth taking. He has now released 3 singles since his return and has gained strong radio support from both sides of the Atlantic, all being done without help from a record label, manager, or publicist!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It takes a strong talent to be able to story tell through lyrics, yet it is something that O\u2019Connor has been able to do beautifully.
