Ottawa's Nick Durocher, better known as the musician TALK, created a viral earworm out of one of his lowest points. Here, CBC News talks to him about his track Run Away to Mars — and where he's headed next.Ottawa musician Nick Durocher, better known as TALK, burst onto the scene last year with the viral earworm Run Away to Mars. CBC News talks to him about the song's creation, and where he's headed next.Nick Durocher has had an odd couple of years.

Durocher, then 25, used his loneliness — along with a singular fascination with outer space and Matthew McConaughey — to craft a song,The mournful ballad went viral on TikTok, brought him thousands of fans and even got him a featured spot onCBC News sat down with Durocher to talk about the origin of the song, how he's seen it affect others and the long journey to the glam rock and roller he is today.So I never shut up. That's the first thing.

But I thought it was kind of lame, the singing thing. Because I didn't understand him or know him. But then high school came around, and I had a teacher who encouraged me to sing, and it turned out I could do it kind of good. And then it was a passion thing. And so I just sat on the edge of the bed and it came out real fast, like, 15, 20 minutes. The body of the song was there. It was missing a few details, but it was pretty much there.It's a very humbling experience, people telling me their life stories and telling me, you know, they didn't end their life because of the song and that it meant so much to them. It kind of grew outside of what it was to me. You know, it was a song, it was my song, but now it kind of belongs to everyone else.
