artist- Jack Garratt
album- Phase
released- 2016current album cover -
This is the current album cover design, its a very monotone design in a illustration based style. Its simple yet communicated directly the themes of the song, this is seen straight away via the colour scheme in design too much of the colour grey creates sadness and depression and a tendency to loneliness and isolation, these are the theme in the song so this colour sets the seen. The image shows a single being that is surrounded but mountains, the use of shows how the artists is talking about feeling left, alone. This image is clearly reflecting how he feels without the use/need of words or information via the imagery, it shows a situation that people would associated with being sad which is alone character in a dark situation that seems lost, the imager has its head down this then again allows the audience perceive the emotion sad because this is the movement people do in when they experience this emotion. Over all the cover is simple yet shows the meaning and depth to song, this shows a backstory to the meaning of the lyrics.
lyrics -
My nights are broken up
By the sounds of women I'll never meet
And when my eyes are closed
I can start to feel
They're staring at me
The right side of my bed
Has always left me feeling stuck in between
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Everything I know
And all the lies I tell myself so I can sleep
Pick apart the pieces you left
Don't you worry about it
Don't you worry about it
Try and give yourself some rest
And let me worry about it
Let me worry about it
You came around to say things
You've been away like I hadn't known
Cuz if I don't wake up
Every single day not seeing you go
As if this moon of ours
Only shines a half to make me feel whole
As if I haven't felt your breath
In every step I take when the wind blows
Pick apart the pieces you left
Don't you worry about it
Don't you worry about it
Try and give yourself some rest
And let me worry about it
Let me worry about it x3

artist explanation -
meaning - 'Cutting someone off to let them go because you love them so much but when actual fact you're just doing it for yourself because we're all very selfish but no-one wants to admit to it'. 'it's not being able to come to terms with the fact that someone is over you and so instead you tell yourself that they're not. But through that you are telling them it's alright to [it's] over.'
feelings -
cutting someone off
after a break up
sad
lonely
selfish
sarcastic
hard to accept
Garratt is keen to clarify though that this is only his interpretation of the song. "I have a reason for what the songs are written for and I usually don't really say what they are about. Because the whole point is to make sure people have the opportunity to create their own experience from the song first. I've had people tell me that songs are about completely different things that I intended to be about. That's amazing. More than anything, I should be asking you guys what you think Worry is about"
Here the artist talks about how he writes song for the audience not for himself, its to create an experiment that the audience can interpret in a different ways, to create a track that means something different to different people but is personal and meaningful in a way that creates powerful emotions in everyone. Vague yet strong.
'More than anything, I should be asking you guys what you think Worry is about" This may be a way to show the album cover, gather many different opinions them combine to reflect the audience different views on the song, show personal opinions -(youtube, facebook, primary research)
reviews -
'The song tells us about a relationship with a woman who’s having difficulty in coming back to him. A mixture of beats and synths gives us mixed signals about what is exactly happening, but one thing is for sure – Garratt clearly misses this girl.
'Break-ups.
They are raw, they can be ugly, they can be invigorating, they can make or break a person to a point.
Jack Garratt takes all of those feelings and bundles them into a messy package with a uneven bow calling it ‘Worry’. The third song off his upcoming EP Remnants, which comes out July 14th, paints a vivid and intense picture of someone who carries a slight obsession with the person who left them. Garratt captures the pissed off feeling that comes with relationships when they end, the questioning of what happened and the obvious sarcastic rants that we all wish we could say to those who have left us. Garratt has an almost whimsical melody that radiates perfectly with his soft, yet stunning voice. He then brings in harder beats along with a rise in his voice and intensity when he is telling the person who left to not worry because he has it covered for the both of them. Garratt has the ability repeatedly to capture pure, unapologetic feelings within his songs, whether love, detest, hurt, or pure joy. His voice, lyrics, and melody combine for a lethal dose of emotion overload.'
'We’ve shared both of Jack Garratt‘s first two songs here earlier this year, and honestly the London-based musician just keeps getting better. Today he released his latest single right after finally announcing his debut Remnants EP set for a July release. “Worry” continues to expand Garratt’s unique, genre-bending style with touches of blue-eyed soul, and electro RnB. His soulful voice bounces over the subtle instrumental grooves with power and sensitivity. Garratt sings sarcastically to the woman who broke his heart, “Don’t you worry ’bout it.” It’s a sort of electro-soul “Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright,” and Garratt’s expressive lyrics and masterfully crafted production make it extremely effective.'
