We’re all in some state of pain right now. Mental, physical, environmental, economical, social or political pain—regardless of how it presents itself, it’s always here, whispering sweet hatred into our ears. But no matter how much collective pain we feel, it doesn’t negate the pain we all feel on an individual level. In a way, that’s what Omnium Gatherum‘s new single “My Pain” is about. You can watch the video for it below.
It takes the macro and dwindles it down to the micro, touching on how both sides of the”fight or flight” mode can beat down an individual. Omnium Gatherum vocalist Jukka Pelkonen describes it this way:
“‘My Pain’ is a story about the toughness one faces when adversary appears. It is about the rising emotions of anger, fear, and apprehension, basically the time fight or flight mode shows its face. It is common among street gangs and soldiers but also between friends, lovers, and amongst family ties. It is a story of conquering these feelings and becoming your own master.”
“My Pain” comes off the band’s upcoming album May the Bridges We Burn Light the Way, due out November 7. For more music, merch, tour dates and updated info, head here.
