Counterparts has released a new song called, “Bound To The Burn” which can be found below from their upcoming seventh full length album A Eulogy For Those Still Here. The album is scheduled to release on October 07th through Pure Noise Records.
Brendan Murphy, the band’s vocalist, offered the following on the tracks lyrical inspiration:
“‘Bound To The Burn‘ is about my personal frustrations that come with playing music for a living. I’m sure it goes without saying, but I do love being a part of Counterparts, though sometimes it can feel like Counterparts/I are easily replaceable in the world of heavy music.
This song is a metaphor for how I’ve let the pressure of churning out new music and constantly being on the road ‘kill’ me in a sense. But here I am, still ‘bound to the burn’ because when I DO consider the other options I have for a career, I end up drawing a blank and I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do. I want to be here, but I don’t… I’m learning to balance the two.”
