It’s easy to get lost in the day to day hustle, grinding your way through the work day, getting caught up in petty squabbles, forgetting that this city is filled with millions of complex human beings each with their own hopes and aspirations. It’s this more soulful side of working drudgery that Cuchulain Kelly touches on in the music video for the song "Torn In Two". Using a company meeting about "quarterly revenues" as its backdrop, the video shows us Kelly expressing his inner frustrations to his co-workers, only to be shown the door. Of course we can all relate to the struggles of the Kelly in the video, doing the daily grind while suppressing the desire to grapple with and openly express our internal conflicts.
All in all a charming song gleaned from the trials and tribulations of DC’s buttoned down culture.
