DecibelLK: About your single
Surith: The song was written and composed almost soon after schooling somewhere in 2014. Finally found some time to perfect the song, get it recorded and do a simple video for it. The theme of the song is about War in general, with a little bit of history and a few metaphors to draw comparison.
DecibelLK: What does the rest of 2017 have In store for peeps who dig your music
Surith: I have two more songs that I’ve written that I would love to have recorded the moment I find time.
