What Have You Done’ is watching my mate fall foul to the dangers of the party. Watching somebody that I cared about become someone else in front of my eyes—and trying to stop it.

Playing it live, I’ve said a few times, ‘This is a song about believing in yourself.’ But it's not really, man, because I've never really believed in myself. When you're on a downer and people try and give you advice, it just bounces off, because you're in your own head, and you're in a downward spiral. But what I say is what I would want someone to remind me: If you put the graft in for a full year, within a year, you will be in a better place than you were before. I wrote this about eight years ago, and it was a prediction of when money gets involved in the choices that you start making. ‘They tell me be silent, make paper and do what you’re told’: It’s to do with getting signed. When people throw money at you, it's usually at the sacrifice of something else—usually your character or your moral compass, or your taste. So this is really a call to arms to never change.” In summer 2015, Cinnamon supported John Power on tour, [14] released another single, Kampfire Vampire, [15] and performed to a large crowd on the T-Break Stage at T in the Park, [6] [3] [16] fulfilling a long-held ambition to play at the festival.

If you're a working class musician hearing this or reading it and you respect the art of song writing more than the art of pretending then you have a responsibility to get involved. There's a war on for real music and if you're sound and can write decent tunes then you're on the front line whether you like it or not."
