The war elevates her purpose, creating a reason for her poetry.īut her attempts to cheer up those around her are less than successful. He admires Emily for her passionate writing despite her “uneventful life,” and she expresses her newfound desire to spread hope.

It’s a single that will define the bands sound moving forward, showing them at their most mature and pathing the groundwork for future releases. ‘Static’ a hard-hitting and anthemic experience that is destined to be played in a stadium, of which there is no doubt The Thing With Feathers will find themselves playing in. It’s easy to find oneself lost in the flow. The single really shines with the guitar work at play during the near four minute journey, as they provide a rhythmic yet sharp tone. Crooning vocals burst through the tight rhythmic section, luring the listener in, creating a daringly alluring experience.
