Whenever you hear a harmony, it’s Rollo [songwriter Roland Spreckley] or PJ [Harding] and I. I love singing with them. I love the mix of male-female harmonies. On ‘Lonely,’ it’s Rollo and me. When we were writing the song, we connected on the notion of not feeling comfortable being who we are. But what really sparked the idea was therapy. I was in my psychiatrist’s office, it was 2019. I had just gotten off tour and was in a dark place. We’re sitting there, I’m explaining how I’m feeling, and he says, ‘Noah, it sounds like you’re lonely.’ I started sobbing. Just hearing it come out of somebody else’s mouth…I didn’t know what the word was or how to describe it. That’s the hard thing about depression.
