Weâre all in some state of pain right now. Mental, physical, environmental, economical, social or political painâregardless of how it presents itself, itâs always here, whispering sweet hatred into our ears. But no matter how much collective pain we feel, it doesnât negate the pain we all feel on an individual level. In a way, thatâs what Omnium Gatherumâs new single âMy Painâ 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 theâfight or flightâ mode can beat down an individual. Omnium Gatherum vocalist Jukka Pelkonen describes it this way:
ââMy Painâ 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.â
âMy Painâ comes off the bandâs 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.
