Today I’m feeling awful, thanks for asking – mit dieser Zeile hatte mich der Songwriter Edward S. White aka Cult Canvas schon. Diesen nostalgischen Indie muss man einfach in die Arme nehmen.

„Act the Fool is about how I pretend to enjoy my life. How we all play our roles and laugh along. it’s about inauthenticity. And how these roles we play are coping mechanisms in the face of a cruel world.
‚Acting the Fool‘ is similar in concept to ‚Bad Faith‘ as conceived by Jean Paul Sartre. The narrator rejects these coping methods, these roles we play, that shackle and bind us to an unfulfilling life.
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.“
