It’s been a little over a year since LANY dazzled us with their 2017 self-titled debut album last June, so it only makes sense to keep fans excited by releasing brand new material, right? Not mad at all!
Tuesday saw the release of the indie-pop trio’s new track, “Thru These Tears” – a heartfelt tale of losing love and the process of putting yourself back together again after the fallout. While we may know who inspired the new track, we think it’s best to let the story unfold through song.
In an email newsletter to fans, singer Paul Klein shared, “the beginning of 2018 was crazy and kind of awful but also kind of amazing and i threw myself into an environment to write a song every monday thru friday up until valentine’s day. it was the worst of times, it was the best of times… but actually it was the most special of times. i got to spill my guts, talk my face off, gather myself, and write songs that were honest to a fault and cathartic to a saving degree for my soul.”
“’thru these tears’” is especially important. at the time – i was writing it for me. but now that i’m healed and whole, it’s for you. i am 1 in like 7 billion that have experienced some sort of disappointment or pain. but i know more than anyone that therapy is just talking it out. and if i can put into words what most can’t, and give people something they can sing along to and hear themselves “talk it out” to, then maybe i can do my part in making this world a better place.”
