Jamie Fooks - singer-songwriter for Jane Vain & the Dark Matter - wrote Ships Bound to Sink for her latest album Love Is Where the Smoke Is. In the song, her voice resonates with the same velvety tone as Chan Marshall. Who is probably one of the biggest influences, revealed Fooks in a ChartAttack interview.
Don't Mind Us seeped out of feelings of isolation while Fooks lived alone in a basement apartment in an industrial area.
I'm So Afraid is an emotional appeal to the invisible audience she once endeavored to impress, having since learned how to impress tangible audiences.
"I used to apologize all the time for being nervous onstage....but I was being told I shouldn’t do it – that it draws attention to the fact that I am nervous." - Jamie Fooks, Fast Forward WeeklyHer musical catharsis has gained an attentive following as her fan base continues to grow.
Fooks informed Calgary Herald that Ships Bound To Sink is about dealing with someone who thought they were better than me, but were also romantically interested in me. I didn't want anything to do with them. It's hard telling someone who thinks they're better than you that they're not good enough for you.
