A Haunting Ode to Isolation and Yearning: “Alone At A Table For Five” by Havard

“Alone At A Table For Five” by Havard Havard, an artist renowned for his ability to convey profound emotions through his music, marks another milestone in his artistic journey with his new single “Alone At A Table For Five.” His debut album, released four years ago, was a bold act of self-revelation, addressing his most severe personal struggles, including abuse, mental health issues, divorce, and suicidal thoughts. In “Alone At A Table For Five,” Havard continues this tradition of candid storytelling. The song paints a picture of a man seeking connection and understanding in a world often perceived as cold and unwelcoming. The metaphor of a lonely man sitting at a table for five is particularly powerful, symbolising isolation and the desperate attempt to connect with strangers. This depiction is not only visually striking but also emotionally profound and universally relatable. He remains true to his style, offering a blend of honest, introspective lyrics and empathetic melodies. Th

How did you get into music?

I got into music during lockdown when covid first started. I just decided to study and learn the Daw everyday until I could create music to my liking! It's an ongoing process and that's the fun part about it. I enjoy learning new things everyday!


"Cryptic [K]night" is a great mixture of Electro meets Psychedelic Dance, what's the story behind?

I just wanted to make a song that was nice and easy to listen to at most times of the day. It's personally a song that puts me in a joyous-feel good mood. So if I could brighten somedays day a little, that would be great :)


How would you describe your creative process and how much time do you spend to find the right sounds?

I use my keyboard, synths, drum pad, guitars, and vocals as an instrument in this song. It can take quite a while finding the right sounds/instruments so I like to set deadlines for myself or I could work forever tweaking and mixing the track.


As a producer, how important is in your opinion the Mixing and the Mastering of a song and what are the typical problems?

Mixing and Mastering is definitely the time consuming part. I definitely spend the most time mixing my track until I think it's up to par for what I can achieve at this point in time. 
I think production is just as important and if I already have a good mix, then mastering isn't too bad. My problem is just finding time to continue my education and making it a priority as much as I can.
