Million $ Man is the album’s example of taking a staple live track and letting the studio process completely re-map its direction. The once folky-skiffle ditty is now a hard-hitting, anthemic call to arms, complete with a crafty hook and chorus to match.
Behind the music, hides deeper meaning. In what singer Howard Doupé believes to be a first - a track dealing with the emotional complexities of a life, delicately touched by health-centered ‘survivor’s guilt.’
Like so many songs before, Million $ Man is an upbeat indie-pop tune that masks a sobering and very rarely explored subject matter - the challenges of a life-long physical disability. It’s an honest and frank perception that attempts to deal with issues that will resonate with a particular section of our community.
