My latest tip comes from German alt trio Future Palace, who are making us feel ‘Uncontrolled’ with this powerful, agitated statement on what happens when we become just that…
The song, their first new music in more than a year, addresses how our entire existence demands control and how it seems all the more shocking when the feeling of self-control suddenly seems to disappear, as singer Maria Lessing explained:
‘Uncontrolled’ was created in 2022 and lyrically speaks of a struggle with oneself. The loss of control in the title primarily relates to one’s own mental health and one’s own decision-making ability. You can no longer manage to get up in the morning and have to constantly regain your strength. You can no longer manage to meet deadlines or function at all. ‘Uncontrolled’ represents what it feels like when everything falls apart and seems hopeless.
