Run Into The Sun release new songs ‘No One Sees Me’ and ‘Nothing Heals Here’
RUN INTO THE SUN have released two new songs!
Titled No One Sees Me and Nothing Heals Here, the new songs from the Salt Lake City hardcore band are the latest in a series of music from the band started in June 2022, following the emotional Love / Pain, political Cry / Blood, and optimistic Try / Hope.
Speaking about the very personal lyrics of the tracks, vocalist Dan Fletcher states, “Growing up in a place like Provo, Utah is hard. So many young people are lost to drugs, depression, and suicide. Kids who were shunned by their families for leaving the church, for being queer, for not agreeing with the doctrines, for being themselves. These deaths are constantly covered up, ignored, forgotten, thoughts and prayers sent. I went back to that town recently and I felt sick to my stomach. The history and my memories still make me so fucking mad. When I got home, I wrote the lyrics to No One Sees Me. It’s inspired by the connection between my experience and the history of the city, where Mormon settlers arrived and murdered the native tribes. As kids, we were taught this story of a Ute tribe woman leaping from a nearby mountain because she was heartbroken. The truth was that she and her family were hunted and killed.
After I wrote No One Sees Me, I got to thinking about how I felt growing up in that city. Dealing with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Trying to make sense of my identity in a place where people are told who they’re supposed to be, how they’re supposed to live, and that if they don’t obey, they’ll be kicked out of their culture and end up in hell for eternity. Nothing Heals Here is about growing up where you don’t belong, how the beauty of youth is tarnished by ignorance and judgment, looking back and wishing those youthful moments had remained innocent and pure.”
