Band: Hundredth
Song: “Leave Yourself”
Release Date: June 27th, 2019
Frontman Chadwick Johnson said of the single:
“‘Leave Yourself’ started out with the loose aim of trying to write our version of ‘Just Like Heaven’ by The Cure. Obviously we veered from that path along the way, but it’s funny to think about where songs start. While we were putting together the instrumental we almost ruined it by trying to overcomplicate it. When I went to write lyrics and vocals, I decided to play on that exact concept. We often overthink and overanalyze rather than relying on instinct.
The song is about the dichotomy of wanting to do everything and nothing at the same time. It’s both an external question of possibility and a solution to internal scrutiny. Ultimately, ‘Leave Yourself’ is a song about getting out of your own way.”
