Imposter Syndrome

This song itself came about as a result of singer Anthony Green coming to terms with relapsing with heroin and suffering an overdose. This singer has since entered rehab and has attended daily Narcotics Anonymous meetings.

“This was the last song I wrote before I went into rehab two years ago," says Green. "The song is about forgiveness and accountability and represents a sense of starting over for me. Scrapping the blueprints and building from scratch in every aspect of our life.”

A bit of that rebirth is also represented in the Bob Sweeney-directed video for the song in which Green is shot in black-and-white sitting onscreen before a faceless figure approaches and proceeds to shave all of his hair off during the video. You can check that out below.

Also of note in the time since the last album is the pandemic, which forced the band into a different mindset, having to reschedule their Blue Sky Noise 10th anniversary tour. Now isolated instead of having his bandmates around, Green recalls, “When I was forced to be home, I didn’t get out of bed for months." But he started to reassess his relationships to his records and it gave him a new challenge.

“All these years, I’ve been looking at these records that I’ve been making as therapy, right? But they weren’t. They were distracting me. I thought I was working it all out in the song, but the song is just an echo chamber. There’s no response to it, so I wasn’t actually confronting my issues. I’ve really been hiding a lot in the records.”
