Slowcity.ca Open Mic with Yola, Nathaniel Rateliff, Tony Joe White, Billy F Gibbons, Lucas Nelson, and JEEN

Will McGuirk June 7, 2021

By Will McGuirk


“This song is about a celebration of being awake from the nightmare supremacist paradigm. Truly alive, awake and eyes finally wide open and trained on your path to self-actualisation. You are thinking freely and working on undoing the mental programming that has made you live in fear. It is about standing for ourselves throughout our lives and real change coming when we challenge our thinking.” - Yola

“I wrote "Better Drugs" eight months after watching the world burn, with everything so exposed and gross. Like we had all lost too many pieces of ourselves to put back together or something...I wondered how fundamental it was, like how broken are we, you know?” - JEEN
