Artist: Boy Golden
Single: Suffer
From: Winnipeg
This is the lead single from Boy Golden’s third album, “Best of Our Possible Lives.” The follow-up to last year’s “For Eden” project will be released on February 13th.
Here is a statement from Boy Golden about this single.
I write songs to seek understanding. Suffering, the first of the Four Noble Truths, is universal. It takes different shapes and forms and magnitudes, but the pain of change, the pain of mortality, the pain of living in bodies we did not choose, is shared.
“Suffer” can’t help but be a political song, because our lives have inherent political consequences, but I don’t believe it to be a partisan song. I write songs to find the threads that bind us all together.
The song came when my ideals were being tested and shattered by the world as it is now. I hope that anyone listening to this song can come to the same conclusion that I did: if we only have this moment, what you do in this moment is who you are. Who do you want to be?
