# Easy On Your Own?

"Easy on Your Own?" is a single by Canadian indie pop band Alvvays, released on August 10, 2022 via Polyvinyl. The song is the second single and second track from Blue Rev (2022).

## Composition and lyrics

"Easy on Your Own?" is a dream pop, indie rock and shoegaze song. The track uses audio feedback, distortion, and the glide guitar technique. Molly Rankin's vocals are low in the mix compared to the instrumental.
Publications vary on their interpretation of the lyrics. According to Stereogum, the lyrics of "Easy on Your Own?" are about "feeling disaffected and worrying about the future", while Paste said they "describe a long-term relationship so damaged, it might not be worth saving". Later, in Paste's review of Blue Rev, they wrote the track "neatly blurs the lines between a floundering relationship and the drudgery of our current times". According to Consequence, the lyrics are about "[working] through a breakup". Using the title, Uproxx interpreted the lyrics as Rankin asking if life gets "easier on [her] own". According to Exclaim, the track is an "absolutely devastating account of the aimlessness of early adulthood". According to The Skinny, on the lyrics, Rankin is "wondering aloud whether she is moving through life or life moves around her".
Pitchfork highlighted the following line from the lyrics, since it is representative of one of Blue Rev's themes: "I dropped out / College education's a dull knife / If you don't believe in the lettered life / Then maybe this is our only try." Loud and Quiet highlighted the line "crawling in monochromatic hallways" since it exemplifies the lyrics' strong imagery.

## Reception

Stereogum described the track as "fuzzy and satisfyingly blown-out". Paste compared the track to My Bloody Valentine, and praised its complex textures and conciseness.The Fader described the track as a "richly melodic pop jam," and said it sounds darker than the first single, "Pharmacist". According to The Skinny, the track is "peak Rankin". TheNeedleDrop said Rankin's vocals sound "more impassioned" than they were on Antisocialites.$^{:1:41}$

# Zero balance account

In finance, a Zero Balance Account (ZBA) is a system of cash pooling (to consolidate the cash balances of several subsidiaries of a single company). This system is designed to leave in the current accounts of the subsidiaries the minimum amounts to be able to deal with their debts contracted.
The main advantage of this system is to centralize the cash to be able to put it to better interest rates.
This system may have the disadvantage of not allowing enough independence to financial subsidiaries.

# Joe Shears

Joseph "Joe" Shears (c. 1892 – November 25, 1957), also known as Joe Shulman, was a former boxer and member of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

## Early life

Born Joseph or Joe Shulman in the 1890s, he was born in Poland. When Joe Shulman was a year old, his family relocated from Poland to London, England.

## Boxing career

Shears was the fighting moniker of Joe Schulman, and it was later taken on by his son Jerry and the rest of the family. Shears fought in England, Canada, and the United States before the First World War.
In 1908, he defeated George Jones in the first professional boxing match conducted in Belleville, Illinois. Shears fought an eight-round fight with Canadian boxer Frankie Fleming in 1910. He later competed in a match at New Bedford's Sharpshooters Hall in 1913.
When the First World War broke out in 1914, Shears enlisted as a member of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. After sailing to England in 1916, "Little Joe" Shears became the bantamweight champion of the Allied forces in France and England. In November 1916, English artist Laura Knight was commissioned to paint the physical training at Witley Camp in Surrey where the 156th Canadian Infantry Battalion was stationed. Joe Shears was encountered by Laura Knight outside of the camp barber's shed, where he accepted an offer to be her model. She described Shears as having a "bashed-in purple face, cauliflower ears, and a broken nose." Knight set up her easel and paints, the gym transformed into her art studio, with Shears acting as an attendant, model, and teacher. The two formed a friendship, and he regularly walked her back to the Angel Hotel in Godalming, three miles from the camp. After viewing her completed works, Joe proposed setting up a shop in Leicester Square to display and sell her drawings. Knight painted over 9 paintings which included a final large canvas, titled "Physical Training at Witley Camp" which featured the boxer. One piece illustrated Shears punching a double end bag, while another captured him training with Corporal W. Atkin in the gym.
Shears escaped a German prison camp by crawling through a sewer.
After the war, in 1919, he went back to boxing in Montreal. Weighing in at 116 pounds, the Canadian soldier defeated Young Demers in a six round bout in September 1919.

## Personal life

Jerry, Phil, Max, Al, and Joe Jr. were his five sons, all of whom became amateur boxers inspired by their father's example.
After stepping away from boxing, he worked as a taxi driver in Montreal. In March 1929, he joined 22 survivors from his regiment for a reunion and later escorted his friend Tom Patterson to New York before returning to Canada.

## Death

Joseph Shears died on November 25, 1957 in Montreal, Quebec.
