about

Finalist, Roddy Read Memorial Songwriting Award, 2016
After listening to a radio discussion on evolutionary psychology, I tried to write a silly ditty about it – but ended up with a heartfelt ballad about our innermost heartaches and fears.

lyrics

What's the evolutionary purpose
Of loving someone if they don’t love you?
Is the hunter more ferocious with a broken heart?
Does the gatherer gather more stuff
When they're feeling kind of rough?
Does it make ’em kinda tough?
I don't know

What's the sociological explanation
For making the same mistake over again?
Do you need a bunch of people who are always wrong?
To let the good ideas see the light
Think of bicycles and flight
Facebook, Instagram, and Skype
I don't know

And I don't care
Cos one thing that I've learned
It doesn't matter what I understand 
I always end up in the hinterland

What's the psychological motivation
For saying something stupid at the very worst time?
Do we need to verify that we are truly loved?
By being the biggest arsehole we can be
And then waiting round to see
If we still have indemnity
I don't know

What's the evolutionary purpose
Of loving someone if they don’t love you?
