UK-based indie singer/songwriter Alexander Wolfe comes to us with the wonderfully crafted and raw musical creation that is "The Toughening". With this track he opens up his heart and soul to share a tale that is so his, yet manages to connect and click with many who listen to each verse. It's a track that embraces the reality of growing up and how many men are always told to "man up, don't show weakness" from very early on.
"The Toughening" explores that path and how it sticks within us, more for some than others, some even perpetuating the same idea as if it was perfect. This is a soundscape bound to strike a nerve and land home for quite a few listeners, so pay attention and find your reflection within this amazing verses. Listen closely and embrace the honesty and rawness of these lyrics, those same ones that make this an absolute must-listen gem. Enjoy!
“Just talk. To each other, to therapists, to the old lady on the bus. We have to break the shame. We need to stop seeing vulnerability as weakness.”
Alexander Wolfe
