"Nobody" is a song that explores the feelings of isolation and loneliness that as human beings, we all experience from time to time.

"Nobody" is a song that explores the feelings of isolation and loneliness that as human beings, we all experience from time to time.
These emotions are exacerbated when we choose to keep them bottled inside instead of opening up and speaking out. Without the support from our community and our friends and family, we are left with the infinite looping of these thoughts and beliefs about ourselves in our mind. This often leads to a negative self image and manifests as a lack of self worth. However, if we allow ourselves to verbalize and express what we are feeling inside, we find that we are better able to understand and work through them.
“Nobody” is essentially a song about the feelings of not being heard or understood. We often tend to compare ourselves to others and then judge ourselves for not being enough. The truth is that we are all the same, we are all equal and therefore we are all “Nobody” in the eyes of some, so why not instead try to make it the opposite and consider everyone as ''Somebody?"
In April of 2019, I traveled to Vermont to surprise my boyfriend at the time while he was playing a show as part of a 10 day tour.
Leaving from Montréal, I drove for five hours in freezing rain and sleet and was basically hydroplaning the whole time but there was no way I was turning around.
When I finally arrived at the venue, I discovered that the tires on my 2004 Subaru were almost completely bald. I was stuck in Vermont until I could acquire new tires.
I stayed alone at his home in the woods of southern Vermont for a few days. On the first night, whilst eating a pizza, missing him and fearing the unknown creatures of the woods, I came up with this song that fell from the sky like a meteor.
I called it “Pizza For One.”
I hope you enjoy it!
