It’s a visceral testament to enduring sadness and the heart-wrenching realization that the object of affection may never be seen or heard again.
The passage of several years has been marked by frantic attempts to reignite a connection severed seemingly beyond repair. “Scopolamine” is the poignant aftermath of a love song gone astray, a raw and unvarnished exploration of emotions. It’s akin to surgical heartbreak, a stark revelation of love’s ability to plunge deeper than the abyss, leaving behind an ache as agonizing as a fall into the unknown.

The stark realization that this person may never cross her path again has left Clare in a state of desolation, heartbreak, and a yearning for contact.

“Scopolamine” stands as a testament to love’s enduring power, even in its absence.

In Clare Easdown’s own words, “Scopolamine” encapsulates a brutal moment in time—a piercing reality where the cherished reunion she longs for may forever remain a distant dream.
