A fitting follow-up to his debut ‘Life & Love’ album, COLLIDEOSCOPE is an EP of four memorable & thought-provoking songs by Michael Larkings:
EASY COME EASY GO - I like the dark humour in this song - it’s about not taking yourself too seriously, ‘rolling with the punches’ in life and not letting setbacks stop you from moving forward.
FOREVER - We’re always much more sensitive with those we love most and it’s because we’re so close. I wrote ‘Forever’ for my wife and son - it’s a reminder that while we might misunderstand each other at times, underneath it all there’s a special bond between us that will always be there.
MOURNING AFTERNOON - This one’s about waking up in the early afternoon after a late night and the lament that it’s become a recurring pattern of behaviour - a song of mourning for the life of the night before.
TRUTH - The brash exuberance of youth is confronted with a reality check one day - that the world is sometimes illusionary and unfair. He knows he should have seen it sooner, considering all the warning signs he ignored, and that actions come with responsibility and consequences.
