Holding Absence , from Wales and their song "Gravity" were featured today on The Artist Spotlight. The band released the single earlier this year.
The message behind the song is, "feeling like you’ve just been cut loose and untethered, now left floating into an endless vacuum of crippling black space, with the person (or people) you need to help you not being able to cross the figurative distances and barriers to be there for you. This song is a cry for help, in many ways, an inviting out-reached hand. It’s a pretty clear metaphor about how heavy depression and anxiety alter and degrade the personal relationships around us, to the point where it feels like our shoulders are being crushed by the sheer weight of inner thoughts and pain; being pulled under by the gravitational pull of mental illness. But it comes with a silver-lining that there is a “remedy”, that there are people ready to listen and help."
