Matt Blankenship Jr, frontman of a Los Angeles based synth-pop band, “The Sometimes Island”, has released a new song called, “Phantom Limb”. The music video for the song will be out in early October. The new song is all about the addiction to people that leaves us in a state of helplessness.
Initially, Matt penned down the song, “Phantom Limb” for another artist but he decided to keep it after seeing the positive response for the song on a tour. The song lyrics convey that addictions to people are more invisible than addictions to substances. And addictions occur in interpersonal relationships as a result of a lack of connection.
“Phantom Limb” song states that addiction leaves every sufferer in a tragic state of mind. It occurs when a person stays in a relationship longer than he should stay in it. The song says that addiction to people in relationships affects a person at a subconscious level. This leads him to the path of destruction and it makes him experience lows in his mind.
