Alfie Myer tackles the hard subject of inner struggles with new single “Fighting Demons.” The release is focused on mental health struggles, personal adversity and the debilitating experience of dealing with issues that won’t go away. There is something immediately relatable about the subject, because not every battle is visible to those around us. Sometimes the hardest battles are the silent ones within yourself, where mustering the courage to persevere can be a struggle on its own.

The repeated feeling of demons fighting demons creates an image of overwhelming internal conflict, where even knowing how to overcome the situation becomes difficult. The subject’s tiredness and frustration give the experience a vulnerable human quality, making it feel less like a distant concept and more like something many listeners can relate to.

In “Fighting Demons,” Alfie Myer confronts the reality of personal struggles without pretending that conquering them is simple. It is a record that brings attention to emotional exhaustion and the importance of recognizing the struggles that are often hard to articulate.
