CURRENT SINGLE – “Sunrise Tells the Story”
Midland’s new song, “Sunrise Tells the Story,” is about two people who meet when they’re out one night. And while every detail of the night before isn’t clear, the sunrise reveals plenty of evidence that tells the story. While some listeners might think of the people in the song as characters, lead singer Mark Wystrach says, “I don’t think it’s a character in our head. I think we’re the star of our own movie when we’re writing the songs, and definitely in the performance.”
While every line and every detail of the song might not be his or Jess or Cameron’s true story, Mark believes, “When you’re going to sing it, it’s gotta be your connection to the song, your connection to that story because it is something everybody can relate to. I think we’ve all been there. So, I think it’s just endearing it with your emotions and with your point of view.”
Finding their own stories within “Sunrise Tells the Story” allows Midland to deliver the song with passion and authentic emotion.
