It’s not a new theme, it’s been played out in music and movies before and it will again. The reason is, we can all identify with being ‘stuck in a rut’ (including The Darkness who haven’t topped the charts in a very long time). While all can identify with it, not many know how to address the situation to bounce back quickly.
