Adelaide five-piece Mum Thinks Blue have released their new single, Side That Wasn’t Told. To celebrate the release, the band have shared with MILKY ten facts about themselves they everyone should know.
“The lyrics are about breaking away from the normal lifestyle and not wanting to follow the expected cycle that I thought was the only option when growing up,” vocalist Austin Dobbin shares of the track.
“It focuses on the so-called ‘fairytale’ life that I personally felt was the only way to feel happy at the time; to have a successful job to support my future family in our future house. The meaning of the story shows that there is no perfect ending and that everyone is entitled to their own lifestyle and not to be so hard on yourself just because others are doing things differently and are on different paths.”
