Delving into a deep and emotional journey personal growth within oneself, Dogs I Know evokes a sense of warmth and liveliness in his brand new single ‘Alone’ that utilises layers of synths alongside a captivating groove to provide an inviting uplift for all to enjoy.
Throughout the journey, what we see as a central theme of the release is a focus on a warm and glowing soundscape which contrasts with the emotional messaging held in the lyricism of the track. This allows for a chord to be struck with the listeners, and is achieved by the use of a deepened yet uplifting groove in the percussion as well as the rising nature of the synths that set the scene for the soaring vocals to take us into a whole new dimension.
“Alone is a warm, introspective track about emotional recovery. It’s about finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and knowing you’re going to make it there. I still remember the first time I listened to the demo, back in May of last year. It was a sunny day, and I was in my car doing a mix and mood check, like I always do. When the bridge came on, I had this gut feeling — almost like saudade, as the Portuguese call it. It was a kind of sweet melancholy, nostalgic but comforting. I felt like I had finally moved on, like something had shifted inside me. And that was such a fantastic feeling. That’s where the title came from: Alone. Not in a lonely way, but more like “just myself is enough.” ~ Dogs I Know
