Where Do You Go?

We are thrilled to present our latest release, "Where Do You Go?" - the eighth instalment in our 12 Songs in 12 Months campaign.

This one started off as an acoustic guitar and vocal demo, recorded by Dan in a living room, whilst James Blackman, Simon John and Steve slept upstairs.  We've basically done what the The Beatles did with their last 3 singles (Now & Then, Real Love, and Free As A Bird) and each added our own parts (including an orchestra) to form the finished product.  Really cool process.

Thank you for your continued support on our 12 Songs in 12 Months journey. Your presence makes the music even more special.


"Where Do You Go" by PlasticSole is an acoustic indie rock pop song that takes listeners on an introspective journey through the ups and downs of life. The heartfelt lyrics paint a vivid picture of searching for solace amidst the chaos of daily routines and responsibilities.

In the first verse, we walk alongside the narrator, navigating the urban landscape while feeling overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of life. Seeking a moment of respite, they yearn for a place where they can temporarily escape the pressures and clear their mind.

The second verse delves deeper into the complexities of human interactions and individual perspectives. The narrator observes how people often live their lives like a game, keeping a distance from one another to avoid vulnerability. Despite feeling disconnected, the narrator recognizes that everyone has their own struggles to face.

The catchy chorus echoes the question we all ask ourselves during difficult times: "Where do you go to when you're down?" encouraging resilience, the song advises not to hang one's head in defeat but to find solace in the company of others.

The bridge brings a sense of self-reflection, acknowledging the narrator's internal struggle. They come to terms with their own strengths and recognize that they are their own best friend. The honesty in this realisation sets the foundation for positive change.

Following another chorus, a soulful solo offers a moment of introspection, allowing listeners to connect with the emotions conveyed throughout the song.

Ultimately, "Where Do You Go" is a heartfelt anthem that reminds us to persevere through life's challenges and uncertainties. PlasticSole's indie rock pop sound, combined with meaningful and relatable lyrics, creates an emotional experience that resonates with audiences, making it a standout track in their repertoire.
