If you are a fan of Cosmograf you’ll recall that the concept for my album ‘The Man Left In Space’ wasn’t really a story about a space man who forgot what time the bus back to earth was leaving. It was really about the attraction and pitfalls of success, what we strive for and what happens after we achieve our life goals.
History is littered with the sad stories of those that became the best at what they do, through years of dedication and hard work. They achieved their life’s ambition, the pinnacle of what possibly could be achieved and then things started to go wrong. Once they achieved their goals, their reasons for existing were brought into question in their own minds, and so did the very essence and identity of their lives. When this happens, the fame, adulation and glory inevitably makes way for alcohol drugs, depression and sometimes even suicide.
