Story Behind The Song

This song was written about two friends that were deeply struggling in their marriage. Each and every day going by finding themselves in the same troubled spot. The concept with the title "Another Sun" is basically talking about each of them finding a solution to their issues.

Song Description

This is for everyone who doesn't need another Jasey Rae-esque vague summer love jam. Even though I like "Call Me Maybe" (of course I jammed to it) and the other one that's out now, "I Really Like You", I'm craving a summer single that addresses the fact that I may have more on my mind than an unrequited crush. Cue "Another Sun" the debut single by Well-Known Strangers. This is your new collegiate summer single. Who is Well-Known Strangers? They're a DIY modern pop-rock group from Wisconsin gearing up to release their first addition to their discography, the Found EP, on June 23rd. If you're from the area you might recognize some names in the lineup of band members since they've all been in and around the scene for quite some time: Joe Adamek (guitar/songwriting), Betsy Ade (vocals/songwriting), Roger Gower (drums), Sacia Jerome (cello), Jon Wolf (guitars), and John Kulas (bass guitar, guitars). "Another Sun" sounds like your 90s pop radio feel good, introspective, confusion-driven go-to single that you include in your throwback comfort playlist (and thank god!). The lyrics touch on a collective emotion that we all feel from time to time- Confusion. The track wrestles with the need to find a sense of belonging while not entirely wanting to be disconnected from what's currently surrounding them. Betsy sings, "I need some distance I know you hear me loud and clear" and, gosh, we do. "Another Sun" - It's your ripened teenage anthem. - Music Existence

Lyrics

Here I go again searching for the sun and I hit the ground you try to pull me in.
Yet another time when I try and find and there is nothing around except the shadows I'm standing in.
My mind is twisted inside out, upside down.
I just can't be me for you until I'm found.
'Til I'm found

I need some distance I know you hear me loud and clear.
A final promise to be gone then I'm gone from here

Hard to feel the sun, find another one, hard to see the light
I'd rather hide in the shade when my darkness is way, way, way too bright
Falling further away

I need some distance I know you hear me loud and clear.
A final promise to be gone then I'm gone

We can't be friends, these years of fighting
We can't defend, these words are binding
Say our world ain't slipping away.
Should I stay?

Remember when it all just fell into place?
We laughed and rolled around in bed all day

And all these years of fighting, finally broken, we've come undone
And even though it's dark and split wide open it's what we've become
Take my hand, take my hand, let's find another sun
Take my hand, take my hand, let's find another sun
