Songs of the Stag Track 5 👉 What Do You Do

Every day or so I’m sharing a track from my Scottish fantasy book’s playlist! Link to the playlist in my bio 🔗

‘What Do You Do’ is a song about cycles, cynicism, and disillusionment with the political system that so many of us resonate with. It also resonates with Cait’s early days in Thorterknock as she becomes exposed to a world she had no idea existed: a world of poverty, illness, and struggle. She’s lived in a bubble, and when it bursts, it hurts. We have all had moments when we realised the system was broken.

For so many of us, that moment leads to a loss of innocence and a sense of betrayal. The steady pace of this song perfectly exemplifies how it feels to wander through your world feeling hopeless and helpless, but on the other side of that melancholy, is the fire to inspire change.

“What do you do when democracy fails you?

What do you do when the rest can’t see it’s true?”
