“Overcome” is the first song guitarist and vocalist Dave Simpson wrote back in 2004. It has finally found a home on this EP and deals with feelings of rejection and hopelessness from his traumatic school days, ultimately resolving with messages of resistance, assertiveness and self-belief.

Dave Simpson reflects: “Opening with words of rejection and hopelessness, the song resolves with lines of resistance, assertiveness and self-belief. The end of the song brings confidence and belief in the ability to overcome any struggle that comes your way. It’s a testament to never giving up.”
