New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Sound of
Ghosts just released their first single since their record, Delivery &
Departure in 2018. The new release, "Heavy Burden" is a catchy folk rock song written after reading Eckhart Tolle and his concept of "pain bodies," the weight of the pain we carry around from our past traumas.
He spoke of how so many relationships are destroyed by our attachment to our pain bodies and how most of the entertainment we consume is created from people's pain bodies. This song was meant to be a creation that rejects the need to create from pain and is about love that doesn't come from that place. Anna Orbison, the band's lead singer and songwriter said, "we wanted this song to be about love that doesn't come with ultimatums, manipulation, and the kind of pain we have all experienced in toxic relationships."
