In the wake of a break-up, Ryan Egan asks ‘Who’s Left Behind?’ in this jazz-leaning, hazy number. It follows on from the last rhetorical question, ‘Won’t You Be The One?’ as the NYC crooner searches for love, wanting easy answers, but only finding complicated questions. The breeziness of this new track seems almost at odds with the antagonising anxiety and fear of Egan’s words, “I can’t be sure what pains me more / This darkness or your past / Fears I never wanted out the corner of my mind / I remember.” We really appreciate that the production here is minimal, because although it’s a woozy rhythm and blues single, it’s also organic and raw. You can hear the humanity in Egan’s voice, rather than it being hidden behind a wall of vocal effects to “smooth out any perceived imperfections”. Here’s the thing, none of us are perfect, and so why should music - one of the purest forms of human expression - pretend to be also? Thinking further on emotional frailty and our connected experiences, Egan explains that, "The song deals with the experience of being abandoned or seemingly forgotten and the accountability that we yearn for afterwards. Everyone shares this common agony to varying degrees, whether we've been left by family or loved ones, or by the state.  The song attempts to pull at those familiar and often bitter emotions but ultimately places itself in a position of power, never forgetting who's wronged us." - Hannah Thacker
