Shipwrecked is Neil Potter’s Single Out Now
A cool guitar riff opens the track, carrying an energy that briefly recalls the mood of Collective Soul’s Shine. Yet the comparison fades quickly, as Potter’s work develops its own distinct path.
His voice, immediately recognizable and marked by individuality, takes command. It is not only the focal point of the piece but also the emotional guide, leading listeners through the layered journey that follows.
The rhythm has a floating quality. It moves forward with steady drive, while at the same time creating a sensation of uplift and hope. This duality is particularly interesting, as the lyrical content contrasts that initial impression. While the music feels almost buoyant, the lyrics deal with the weight of depression and inner conflict. This tension gives the song depth, transforming it into more than a catchy piece.
One of the highlights comes in the bridge. Backing vocals and carefully constructed atmospheres create an almost haunting presence, as if inner demons are whispering from within. These layers build a chilling yet accurate representation of voices that disturb the peace of mind and attempt to drag the listener into darker places. It is a clever artistic choice, and it makes the track resonate on a psychological level.
At times, Potter introduces slightly dissonant passages. These moments enhance the sense of instability, reinforcing the lyrical themes without overwhelming the listener. The structure and production choices create an effect that feels cinematic, with contrasts that mirror the highs and lows of emotional struggle.
Shipwrecked is an experience that portrays vulnerability with precision. Neil Potter demonstrates the ability to merge lyrical intensity with musical strength, delivering a track that feels personal and universally relatable.

I struggled with OCD and with that depression in the past, and this is a song about that and the worst of it in my life. Seemingly, the song sounds quite nice, but the words tell a different story. -Neil Potter
