Australian alt/pop artist Tia Gostelow makes us all feel a little more normal in her honest new single “Psycho.” Showing us that we’re really all the same when it comes to playing the relationship roulette, Gostelow wants to remind you to never lose track of who you are and what you want.
Through relaxed soundscapes, sun-soaked melodies and soulful, glowing tones, Gostelow paints a relatable picture of modern day dating. In a world full of uncertainty, it’s important to remember who you are and although at times we may come across a little crazy, we’re definitely not “psycho.” I wrote this song a little while ago with my friend @aidanhogg at @plutoniumstudios. I really wanted to share a little bit about the meaning behind it before it comes out going into the session I felt like I really wanted to write a song about something that was really prominent in the media at the time and was also something personal to me and a lot of my friends. conversations about gaslighting in relationships/friendships was all I was reading about on my phone, it was all over my Facebook and Instagram.⠀
⠀
It forced me to really think about the situations and relationships myself and my friends have been in where we’ve experienced gaslighting and how it made us go fucking crazy. I feel like when you are in these circumstances, it feels like you’re going insane. I felt like I was turning into this psycho person and it seemed like nobody else saw where I was coming from or understood why i was acting this way.⠀
Seeing all of these other people speaking up about it, made me deal with my emotions that I had just ignored and I finally felt like I could put all of my anger and frustration into something that means something. I hope this song helps other people who may be feeling or experiencing the same things
