SF-Based Blues Rockers Kingsborough Share New Video for Single “Only Light”
The strikingly new video directed by Tanner Beree, showcases the songs’ lyrics that tells the story of the bittersweet pain you feel when you’re trying to dig someone out of despair and pain that is intertwined. Says Leach: “When we encounter emotionally difficult situation many of us tend to struggle in silence and try to ignore the pain we feel. Maybe we feel as though we can beat it ourselves; maybe we fear that wearing our heart on our sleeve and sharing what we’re going through with others can paint us as weak. But even when we try to cover our pain and struggles, it’s easy for the people who are close to us see it. Not talking about things that matter really pushes us away from each other. It’s like throwing gas on the flame. Only Light is the story of someone battling their inner demons in isolation and the narrator’s attempt to help pull them out of the toxic cycle.”
