Post-emo band, Troubled Minds, are sharing their sincere new single “The Way Back Down” on January 10. This is the band’s follow-up release since their most recent single “The Things We Mend.” Both tracks come off the heels of the band’s full-length album, Disconnect.

Troubled Minds hone in on their post-emo edge with “The Way Back Down.” The track has a raw yet unique sound laced with relatable lyrics. The band reflects on personal relationships creating an authentic connection with their fan-base.

“The song is about the importance of supporting your friends in their endeavors, having people’s back because you know they have yours too. I feel like I’ve ran into a lot of people who just want to take in this life with nothing to give back. That’s an example of someone I never want to be. Lines like “hope you enjoy the way back down. No one to catch your fall, no one seems to care at all,” embody that.” – Troubled Minds
