Words: Sam Geary
Brisbane's Hope D - singer/guitarist Hope Defteros - follows up last May's debut single 'Swim' with more confessional lyrics on new indie-pop-rock smash, 'Second'.
Released earlier this month, the edgy, driving track is filled with dazzling guitars, standout synth, and her own uniquely distinctive voice.
"'Second' is about having a huge night that you regret profusely the next day," she reveals. "It’s about getting a break from a long week and being able to have a good time for just a ‘second’, but then that second turns to minutes, and minutes into days and eventually you’re pretty battered and numb. I was in a bit of a rut from these huge nights and I’ve definitely learned that sleep and being a decent human being is better than excessively abusing a good night or 20.
"Writing the song was a huge therapeutic release for me, I made it an angry outlet, and I think that the lyrics really clearly communicate how those nights were."
