Drew Thomson - Honesty is a Confidence Problem

Brooke Thompson | June 24, 2014

Drew Thomson is a songwriter from London, England who had a lot of time on his hands for writing songs and strumming his guitar when he was a Gold Prospector. He left his band Single Mothers for a while and ended up re-joining because of how much he loved it. Being a singer and songwriter had been more of a hobby until recently when Drew decided to take it more seriously. From that, he released a group of songs in 2013 called Honesty Is A Confidence Problem.

 

The first song on his self-titled EP, “Saturday Night/Sunday Morning” has a nice crisp sound 

with awesome guitar chords and drum roll. It’s a story of a love story that was a no-go with kind of a saddening hopeful sense that someday the girl will return and look for him. One of those waiting-a-lifetime type of situations that some people encounter. This is one of those songs that make you dig a little deeper for the meaning and figure out what it means to you.

 

The second song “Oxy” has a more chill vibe to it, yet seems to follow the previous song. It is talking about letting someone leave and ignoring the pain that goes with it. To me, this song can be translated into a message about letting things or people go in life, even if it hurts, because sometimes, it is for the best and the pain is either hidden or dealt with.

 

The self titled EP will be released on June 24th on nosleeprecords.com on a green and a yellow/black 7” that comes with a digital download of the songs. A full length album will be released at a later date.
