Vyvyan Hammond Returns with “Life’s a Party” — A Bittersweet Alt-Rock Anthem About the Morning After
Australian singer-songwriter Vyvyan Hammond returns today with “Life’s a Party,” a bittersweet alt-rock anthem that captures the ultimate walk of shame — that quiet moment after a big night out when the noise fades, the glitter wears off, and you realise you can’t run from yourself anymore… you just have to walk yourself home.
Built around sharp lyricism and an emotionally restrained groove, Life’s a Party balances humour and vulnerability, offering a wry take on self-reckoning and resilience. It’s playful on the surface, but quietly confronting underneath — a song that lingers long after the last chorus fades.
🎶 Life’s a party, and someone switched the lights on…
Written, filmed, and animated entirely by Hammond in the northern Illawarra, the accompanying music video mirrors the song’s raw honesty. Self-made and deeply personal, it reflects the DIY ethos at the heart of Vyvyan’s work, blending visual charm with emotional weight.
