Genre-bending rockers Telling Secrets are gearing up to release their debut LP "Telling Secrets I" on June 14th and to celebrate we asked Vik Kovacs to tell us about the new single "Closer". Here is the story:
"Closer" is the final track on my upcoming album "Telling Secrets I" which comes out June 14. I don't usually think about the deeper meaning of my songs when writing, but this time I decided that I wanted to release some of my darker thoughts. As life happens around us, sometimes we feel like we are in a place we shouldn't be, or we haven't reached a certain level of success when others around us have. Feelings like jealousy, frustration and anger can materialize.. I wanted to essentially say that none of it matters, we are all one step closer to dying by the second. (continue)
