“‘Just Like Clockwork’ is about the ferocity of time, both good and bad. From its seemingly ambiguous nature to its practical constraints, and the ever-changing importance we attribute to time”, says Duncan. “There’s a clock in my living room that ticks very loudly. So distractingly, that I have to stop the pendulum each time I’m writing music or else everything would be at the same tempo. Peculiarly the pendulum moves faster than it should, but the clock still tells the correct time. This got me thinking about the movement of time and how much meaning we attribute to it both practically and conceptually.”
Commenting on “Luminous” he says: “‘Luminous’ reflects on loss and acceptance. It’s about how we personify objects, places, and even light, to console ourselves in dark moments. Although these thoughts are futile, there’s a melancholic beauty in remembrance when these thoughts occur.”
