Neil Potter – “Shipwrecked”

Hope you’re having a relaxing Wednesday evening! Neil Potter has a way of making music that makes you want to hear it again and again. His single “Shipwrecked” takes on something heavy, mental health struggles, both his own and those of a partner who refused to face theirs. The story comes across clearly, and it is easy to connect with if you have ever dealt with OCD, depression, or the frustration of trying to support someone who will not make any effort.

The song begins with a sound that seems fairly easygoing, but the words reveal a much darker reality. That mix of light and dark makes it stand out, in the second half, the energy ramps up, with heavy riffs that mirror the chaos he is describing.

There is also an alt-rock edge with nostalgic touches, and the guitar work gives the track a punch that keeps it interesting. The shifts in tone keep it from feeling predictable, and it is the kind of song you will want to revisit more than once.
