Max RM – Thinking & Talking (Spotify)
“Elegant Acoustic creation based on guitar chords and melodic synth sounds. The artist describes a situation that more or less we all have experienced in our life. Have you ever felt frustrated, with no goals and future plans? Maybe lost in everyday's madness? Then, now is the time to calm down and just think about your next steps.”

The song depicts a ruminating inner monologue - it is about being discontent and struggling to find one’s path in life:
“I was feeling frustrated with myself and the world when I wrote this song; expressing these feelings in song form felt like a step towards finding some resolution.”
Recorded at home during the pandemic, the song features backing vocals by Liz Dearsley, acoustic guitar by Jamie Myers and remote mixing by Oli Deakin (Lowpines).
