Dying Wish Debut ’I Brought You My Soul (Your World Brought Me Despair)’

Dying Wish Debut, "I Brought You My Soul (Your World Brought Me Despair)"

- By Ramon Gonzales -->

Watch the emotive music video directed by Eric Richter with a treatment co-written by the band's own Pedro Carrillo. 

PNW standouts Dying Wish have debuted one of their most savage, soaring singles with the standalone track, "I Brought You My Soul (Your World Brought Me Despair)". The cut lands as the band prepare to embark on a spring trek supporting Spiritbox starting in early April.

Working with in-demand producer Will Putney, the single showcases the streamlined aggression and volatility of the band, emphasized by a commanding performance from vocalist Emma Boster - achieving melodic highs combined with violent screams. 

Boster spoke about the message of the track and how our turbulent social and political climate is being normalized in ways that desensitize society. "'I Brought You My Soul...' is written about being one of many affected by the state of the world we are living in. Constantly witnessing the brutality and injustices has taken a toll on our collective mental health. [The lyric] 'I am miserable yet I am sane' references that being impacted by these tragedies happening in Gaza and on our own American soil in fact makes us normal. I fear that one day we will become numb to the events as they become more violent because we are so conditioned to living with it every day."

 

Boster also shared how the track is indicative of the greater scope of Dying Wish's next phase as a band. "This is the first step in the direction of our third LP and the goal from this album is to challenge ourselves to create something different from the first two releases. Throughout the last four years of those records we have dialed in our sound and ethos as a band. We hope that the artwork direction proves as an example that we're innovating our style to become the most authentic version of Dying Wish."

Connecting with director Eric Richter to helm the music video, Dying Wish guitarist Pedro Carrillo helped to pen the treatment for the clip that underscores how chosen, extended family can be the saving grace during uncertain times. Carrillo shared, "'I'm fucking miserable yet I am sane,' with everything Dying Wish has ever done, we've tried to push ourselves and be as honest with ourselves as we can. Inauthenticity is the mind killer. Especially in this day and age, everyone is putting up a front. Everyone is faking it. Nobody actually believes in the words they say or spew online. The world is crumbling, foreign affairs [issues] are at an all-time high, and the bare minimum to be able to survive in this world is getting harder and harder to reach."

Carrillo added, "I am miserable but my family holds me together. Five different walks of life coming together in this exhausting cesspool. This video is my love letter to them and to everyone who has seen us at our highest and at our lowest. Working with Eric Richter was an incredible experience. Being able to hone in the feelings and ideas of what I see when I look at my band, how I look at our journey, and what I want to represent."

Dying Wish begins their supporting run with Spiritbox along with special guests Loathe and GEL on April 3rd in Dallas, TX and closes out the run with two consecutive nights at the Hollywood Palladium on May 10th and 11th. See the complete list of dates and cities below. Get tickets - HERE
