“Personal experience unfortunately inspired Hard Work. It is a song about unemployment and how difficult it is to find work, something I sadly know too well. The song was written shortly after I was brutally fired and my emotions were all over the place: “The boss sends the P45, dream of scorching him alive, life just took a nose dive”. I did what any songwriter should do and I channeled my feelings via a pen and paper; well, I actually wrote it on a ukulele. As I’m all to familiar with being fired I found it an easy song to write and one I knew many could relate to due to the current economy. I hope Hard Work will one day be seen as the anthem to the current unemployment crisis; the response to all those saying it’s easy to find work and you’re lazy if you haven’t.”
