Following up on their debut single Freedom(ination), Order Of Owls have returned with their upbeat and melodic new single Speak Up. Where Freedom(ination) is dark, moody and paced, Speak Up sings out its message triumphantly and without restraint.
Speak Up revolves around the distress experienced when coping with depression. In one form or another, everyone in the band has endured a struggle with it and has an intimate understanding of how it can affect a person day to day and in the big picture.
“Depression isn’t just a feeling of bad, it’s an exhausting cycle of dis-regulation. Feeling fine or even euphoric at one point and utterly hollow at another. Vacillating between these extremes in a debilitating parade of moments towards an erosion to the sense of self. Preferring the allure of a permanent ends to a seemingly endless drudgery. An inability to find any breadcrumbs leading back to connection with others.” – guitarist Nathan M.
