BISHOP BRIGGS RELEASES NEW TRACK “SOMEONE ELSE”

“This song is everything I was afraid to say out loud. I went to the corner of the room and wrote this down and my stomach plunged. The truth was right in front of me and all I wanted to do was ignore it. I was hoping my subconscious would tell me a different narrative but instead there it was, screaming at me. I have tried singing this live and it’s still really hard for me to not cry. “Someone Else” has offered me a lot of healing since that day. You are hearing the original vocal take where I was crying. It’s not perfect but it’s honest and it’s real. Thank you for taking the time to listen.” – Bishop Briggs
