Blurred View is a pop-rock ballad centred on themes of introspection, perseverance, and personal growth. Written in March 2021, the song reflects on feelings of uncertainty and emotional struggle while searching for clarity and hope. Over the years, the track evolved through several different iterations, growing alongside my own development as a musician and producer. What began as a bedroom pop recording eventually transformed into the version heard today. Despite the many revisions, the song's central themes remained unchanged. Blurred View captures a moment of reflection and uncertainty, while its evolution over several years reflects my development as both a songwriter and producer. The final version represents the culmination of that journey.

Written, performed and produced by myself, with additional instruments from: Freddie Rose (Drums), Louis Somerville (Guitar), Harrison Ollier (Guitar Solo), Jack Hallsworth (Cello) and Bea Davis (Violin).
