UK-based indie singer/songwriter Bertie Newman comes to Wolf in a Suit once more and he does so with the tale of "Razored Glass". With this honest and raw showcase of feelings and emotions he shares a story so tragically human and unfortunately relatable for more than a few. It explores the other side of a conversation between two people, how one side sees all the light, while the other is seeing something quite opposite.

"Razored Glass" knows that it's not solely about what the eyes can see, because unfortunately a smile is easy to fake and sadness can be easier to hide. It's not something that can just be fixed with good vibes or exercise as some think, it takes more than that and it's never fully gone, it speaks to you, trying to pull you back down.

Every once in a while comes a song that motivates me to open up, a song that makes me grateful for the power and magic of music, this is one of those songs. It made me feel understood, for it knows how perspectives can be different while discussing anything and how positive and negative are quite personal.

Bertie I can tell you it's not about you, sometimes there's something that we fight against on a daily basis, there are good days, there are bad days, and unfortunately for some, the bad days can be the worse and the most tragic. I can keep it under control, but I know it's not the same for all of us, and you were there, but sadly that isn't enough at times. "Razored Glass" is a song I am thankful for and I love the warmth and sweet magic it holds.

So whether you are on one side or the other of the conversation, I hope you really listen to this track and embrace it whole, for it has something special for all to listen. Enjoy the caress of the captivating must-listen gem that is "Razored Glass".

“Razored glass explores the initial feelings of grief. When losing someone to suicide you feel as if you haven’t been good enough and this is the main premise of the song. The way in which that feeling is explored is by telling the story of the last time I saw that person alive. It talks about how that persons perspective must’ve been so much darker than your own. How you might’ve felt you were having the best time but actually the opposite is true.”
