Hailing from the west coast of Scotland, Jacob and the Starry Eyed Shadows is a solo indie pop and rock project entirely created and produced by the artist. With a melancholy undertone and burningly uplifting energy, “Broke and Borrowed” is easily your new favorite pop-punk anthem.

“Broke and Borrowed” is about overcoming adversity. Catharsis mixed with a defiant sense that everyone can easily relate to. The lyrics are hard-hitting and personal, but not in a way of being explicit or too specific. In the right mood, it’s almost as if Jacob and the Starry Eyed Shadows is speaking to you directly through the song.

“Broke and Borrowed” is easily to hit hard and elevate your feelings. It understands you in every humanly possible way and deliver a note of hope that helps you through the harshness of life. Sonically, the pop punk anthem reminds you of Machine Gun Kelly, but spiritually, it reminds you of hit makers like Passengers and Ed Sheeran.
