The lads give us a brilliant insight into their creative song writing process, revealing how massive tracks like 'Stop' start out as tiny keyboard melodies with working titles like 'beans on toast' and 'fair fucks'. Danny breaks down the heavy, empowering philosophical message behind the lyrics, a reminder that life is too short, so you might as well seize the moment and get on with it.Most powerfully, Danny opens up completely about his childhood battles with severe anxiety, up to 15 panic attacks a day, and a variation of OCD that caused him to face the worst thoughts imaginable. He and Fenners reflect on the historic stigma of men's mental health, the terrifying fear of speaking out, and the life-changing weekly therapy that ultimately made him better. It is a vital, beautiful conversation and a reminder that if you are struggling, please reach out.Plus, the boys treat us to 3 incredible, standalone live tracked performances right from the studio deck, featuring two brilliant new tracks from Avalanche and an absolute classic from their best-selling album Out of Nothing.FOLLOW LIFEJACKET: https://www.instagram.com/lifejacketuk/
