Golden Handcuffs is a song that's sure to resonate deeply with Australia’s working class, shining a light on the tug-of-war between financial security and the longing for a simpler, more meaningful life.
The track was inspired by a conversation Matt Scullion had with a former FIFO mine worker who walked away from a high-paying, high pressure job to spend more time with his wife and kids.
“Sometimes the hardest chains to break are the golden ones,” says Matt. “This song is for anyone who’s ever weighed up the cost of chasing money versus being truly present with the people they love.”
