What is Prescription pending about?
Prescription pending is about waiting: on hold, on a list, on a referral that takes months to come through. It's about needing support for your mental health and being told to wait while things get worse.
The final chorus moves from defeated to defiant. If the system won't help in time, people build their own support around each other and keep going. It's a song about staying alive while you wait.
What does Prescription pending sound like?
Builds from frustration to a defiant final chorus.
