HUSSY shares new single ‘Mona’s Trinkets’
“Mona’s Trinkets can be interpreted as having two perspectives to it. The lyrics began a while back and were something I had since a funny experience coming back from playing in New York when the pandemic was kicking off. On the one hand it’s poking fun at a self absorbed conversation I was having with someone in the wake of lots of bigger things going on. It seemed funny in the grand context of what was happening at the time. On the other hand there’s the perspective of being sympathetic and understanding and actually relating. The song can also be taken as a sincere waving goodbye to an impending older way of life and thinking on how things could be different, whilst ultimately accepting that those are things you can’t control.”
