In September, the fall of the year I visited the hometown of Nothing But Thieves, Conor suddenly announced on Twitter that he was going to release songs he wrote during the pandemic since he had a lot of time to reflect on himself.
Hello everyone,

I have some news I’d like to share with you.
I’ve made a solo EP under the name Man-Made Sunshine.
During the pandemic I had time and space to reflect, as many of us did, and discovered that my head was filled with trapped emotions and
He said he reflected on the time he was suffering from mental illness and wrote 5 songs that themed healing and self-love.
That surprised me.
Because you know, I knew where exactly he lived during the period.
And he released a video that was shot in Leigh-on-Sea.
I just walked there a few months ago.........

Conor, you were sitting on those benches and seeing the view too…
You left there because you finished writing the songs…? and found your answers…?
There was a piece of your feelings you left in that place…?
About the project Man-Made Sunshine, he said like, “Empathize with your happiness. If you feel it, it's for you, so take it”
“My question is: Do you make your own sunshine?”
He will never know, but this EP became so special to me.
I loved it so much I translated all the songs into Japanese.
It was such a relaxing and calming experience, it felt like meditation.
Conor, thank you for creating such heart touching songs.
