Like it or not, we\u2019ve all got our faults yet we manage them in different ways. Some of us live in denial. Some let theirs weigh them down. While others accept, even embrace, them. On ‘get well soon’<\/em>, it\u2019s the latter that worlds greatest dad<\/strong>\u2019s Maddy Duncan aims to convey. Through a set of addictive, hooky indie-punk songs, she does just that as she provides a direct and honest personal insight.<\/p>\n From the opening lines of ‘new recording 3’<\/em>, there is a vulnerability in Duncan’s words. “I\u2019ll just sit on the sidelines, remember a time when you were all mine,”<\/em> she sings while realising being with someone is more damaging than being alone. It is this self-awareness that threads ‘get well soon’<\/em> together. ‘laughing (while you\u2019re smiling)’<\/em> focuses on Duncan trying to put her faults aside so she can enjoy being in love. Complimented by ringing guitars and well-executed pop sensibility, it’s one of many highlights here.<\/p>\n From apologising for being lazy (see ‘cough’<\/em>) to confronting her self-destructive nature (‘song for mogis’<\/em>) to becoming disinterested in former interests as she becomes older (‘dad jeans’<\/em>), Duncan and company leave you compelled with her personal yet relatable lyrics. “I wanna feel emotions the way I did when it was \u201cfuck everything, I\u2019m 17,\u201d<\/em> she states on ‘Motions’.<\/em><\/p>\n
