Indie-alternative producer and song-writer Zach James Douglas is no stranger to the music scene, having first wowed music fans with former band Little One, who at the peak of their popularity played huge festivals including Glastonbury and Electric Picnic. More recently though, he’s branched out on his own, and PopWrapped are delighted to premiere his second single titled “Even As The Knife Went Through”, which features guest vocalist Saoirse.
With the return of live shows – hopefully – creeping ever closer, and the music industry slowly starting to find its feet again, the remainder of 2021 is looking like a busy but fun time for Zach. For now though, he’s focused on his new track, about which he says: “Even As The Knife Went Through” explores the raw and unfamiliar emotional reaction that I experienced, while trying to move on, once my relationship of almost four years collapsed. The way that my ex-partner decided to end things was particularly ruthless. It was cold, it lacked any sort of compassion and showed zero regard for our time together. This was exasperated by the fact that she had found another partner within a matter of weeks, which was devastating to hear and a tough reality for me to try and come to terms with, at the time.”
He goes on to add: “As I gradually began the process of moving on and dating once again, I continuously felt this overwhelming sensation of shame and guilt, and developed quite a profound issue when it came to trust and intimacy, becoming colder, more closed off and self-sabotaging, tearing apart any relationship that had potential to grow into something more serious. “Even As The Knife Went Through” was my way of recognising and addressing this feeling, in the hope that it will help me to recover, to move past it and hopefully grow as a person.”
