Farnham, UK pop punks Homebound are streaming a lyric video for their new single “Sonder”. Vocalist Charlie Boughton said of the track’s inspiration:
“I came across a book written by an author who coined terms that aim to fill a hole in the English language, giving a name to emotions we all might experience but don’t yet have a word for. One of those was ‘Sonder’ which was described as ‘n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own— their own story, populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness…’ This really resonated with me and helped me to see that we as individuals get so caught up in our own lives, we often forget that there are others sharing the same experiences.”
He adds, explaining how the song fits in the bigger picture:
“I think ‘Sonder’ will come as a surprise to some people and maybe prove we’re not just a one trick pony. It really helps to break up the EP sonically; hopefully people really dig it.”
“Sonder” is the latest single off their upcoming The Mould You Build Yourself Around EP, which drops February 10th via Rude Records.
