The L.I.F.E. Project, featuring Stone Sour guitarist Josh Rand and Paralandra vocalist Casandra Carson, is now streaming their new single "A World On Fire". Carson said the single is a metaphor for getting off social media, while Rand elaborated on the single's composition.
"When I started working on the music for 'A World On Fire' the idea I envisioned was to take the listener to different places within the song," said Rand. "From the main guitar riff, to double time pre choruses, to the soundscaping in the choruses. The hardest part when writing a song like that, is to make sure it doesn't feel forced or choppy and all the parts are cohesive. I feel we achieved that."
"This song is one giant metaphor for wanting to permanently log off of social media," added Carson. "After watching a documentary about how addictive it is, and the negative impacts it has on mental health, I started realizing how much time, mental and emotional energy I was spending on it. Ever since then, I've started realizing I don't need the validation of getting likes and comments to measure my happiness or self-worth."
The L.I.F.E. Project will release their self-titled EP on July 9. Pre-orders are available here.
