Cian Ducrot Shares New Single ‘Fucked Up All The Time’
Camden-based 22-year-old singer, songwriter, producer and classically-trained multi-instrumentalist Cian Ducrot has just shared his brand new single Fucked Up All The Time, a stunning piece of piano-based pop music.
I am really enjoying the tone of his vocals and how they flow effortlessly over the memorable piano-based melodies that enhance the emotion of his relatable storytelling. Fucked Up All The Time is a poignant and vivid vignette of a very specific moment in Cian' life and its meaning is intrinsically connected to how Cian arrived at where he is today. The song is also very relatable as many of us have dealt with these growing pains and trying to follow our dreams and reaching moments where we are lost, losing hope that all we've dreamt our lives would be will never happen. I personally relate with the lines:
I’m so sick of feeling so fucked up all the timefeel like I’m living someone else’s lifeI’m in the car on my way homeSo I cry when no one knows
Luckily it seems that Cian is going in the right direction as his decisions in life have made him such a great storyteller and passionate singer. I am loving the melancholic piano chords and unhurried beats throughout the song which flourish into a rich and dramatic soundscape which blends organic instrumentation with subtle electronic elements. If you're into beautifully-written pieces of music with stunning piano melodies, emotive and passionate vocal delivery and an overall melancholic atmosphere, then you'll love Fucked Up All The Time. To accompany the release, Cian has shared a tart monochrome video, directed by Geoffrey Airebamen, that sees him playing almost every instrument - from piano and guitar to drums and flute.

Speaking about the song, Cian said,
I was at home, I’d dropped out of the Royal Academy, and there was a backlash from my family, even my friends, telling me: ‘That's the worst decision you could have possibly made. You’re broke. What are you going to do?’ I was alone in my room and I voice noted a lyric: ‘I'm so sick of feeling so fucked up all the time.’ Then I sat down and started playing piano, at one in the morning. It all flooded out. I’d felt awful. But then I felt better.
