Last month, Hannah Frances returned with "Falling From And Further," her first new material since last year’s Keeper Of The Shepherd. It turns out that song is taken from her just-announced third album Nested In Tangles, which arrives this fall. The singer-songwriter is sharing the transcendent second single "Surviving You" today.
“‘Surviving You’ is a reflection on the ways generational trauma can repeat itself when unexamined, and the ways we learn to protect ourselves through necessity," the Vermont-based musician says, expounding:
It's a personal account of receiving harm from people who have projected their own pain onto me, who refuse to see themselves or take accountability for the impact of their actions. I was reckoning with my rage, and recognizing how much I've lived in survival mode for the majority of my life. This is for anyone who grew up in a turbulent and harmful home and is learning to affirm their lived experience.
Frances invited Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear to produce and arrange some tracks, and he's credited as a guest on "The Space Between." Below, watch the self-directed music video for "Surviving You."
