"Feed" by pMad
The inescapable burden of life and deep inner pain - welcome to ‘Feed,’ the new single from pMad. Paul Dillon presents himself as thoughtful as never before in this new song, describing the visible and invisible scars that our existence leaves behind.
Feelings of hopelessness make escape almost impossible.
‘No escape if you can't hide’ sounds like a quiet decline, emphasizing the inevitability of these struggles if they are not confronted directly. Critical statements such as
‘The life of a value is worth more than the value of a life’ question the priorities of our society, which often places material values above human life, emphasizing how overwhelming the burden and responsibility of life can be.
Despair and the inner struggle on the horizon show the need to prioritize the true value of life over material values and to fight on despite the darkness and overwhelming challenges, ultimately finding meaning and significance in the here and now.
Musically, pMad is once again convincing and knows exactly how to utilize its strengths. Darkwave, Goth, or Alternative you might think, but pigeonholes are not for Paul; he uses whatever he thinks works best and succeeds time and time again. The thoughtful depth he achieves with ‘Feed’ sounds wonderfully melancholic and shows another facet of pMad that he already hinted at with ‘Sisters.’ pMad opens the new year with a strong and convincing performance!
