The Swedish post-punk trio Then Comes Silence has released a new single, entitled “Bye Bye Land“. You can listen to the song below:
The band around frontman Alex Svenson comments on their latest single release as follows:
“Confronting the helplessness of watching a loved one struggle with trauma, this song delivers a deeply personal reminder of life’s value, the power of human connection, and the hope of finding a reason to carry on.”
– Then Comes Silence
Alex Svenson adds:
“This song is, in many ways, a slap in the face to one of my dearest friends. Someone who, after experiencing a life-changing trauma, reached a point where he decided he no longer wanted to be here. I’m not going to pretend that I know what was going through his mind or that I can fully understand what he was feeling. But I do know how deeply grateful I am that he’s still here. And I know I’m far from the only one who feels that way. With this song, I want to remind him of how much he means to all of us… and, most importantly, how much his life means to himself.”
– Alex Svenson
